I fab shitboxes and shitbox accessories.
Replaced with a bicep muscle? surely not a whole one. But hell, sounds good for your girl, got a nice strong tongue now.

As it turns out, my expensive ass insurance is awesome. $120,000 for my surgery, $305,000 for the 10 day hospital stay.
Total cost to me, a $40 copay for the heart surgeon since he's a specialist.

I don't think it's really them that's the problem. I think they have to act this way because they have to deal with insurance companies. Honestly I can't blame them.
Worst part of being self-employed: lack of affordable health insurance. Last time I had Anthem BC/BS insurance (around 2004 or 2005 I think), it was about $400 a month for $5,000 deductible. I hear it is now over $600 a month and raising every year by at least 10%. They are essentially pricing their individual insurance so high to get rid of those customers. I had to switch. I currently pay $150.00 a month for a $7,500 deductible insurance plan with Mega Life (which talking with various people say they aren't very good). No dental or vision. Only some labs covered. Slight discount on prescription medication.
In retrospect, I probably should have a health savings account.

wtf. That's messed up. Admittedly, I pay for the highest level of coverage my company can give me, but still, the most I paid out of pocket for what was a $150k surgery was $500. I hear stories like yours and I wonder how the fuck that happens.
It's not just insurance companies. I can tell you for fact that the companies that make modern tech health equipment have turned into the biggest cash sucking scam ever. They charge 25k for a 5 year old PC, and that's before it has any software, which is what they actually produce, placed on it. They claim it's because of 'FDA REGULATIONS', but they say it with their fingers crossed and the biggest smirks on their face ever.
Sounds like you should have elected for a brain issue instead. Cheaper, and less hospital stay!

It's official. After looking at everything our 'help desk' was supposed to do to cover me being gone for 4 fucking days for a vacation, I'm done. 2013 - year of change.
My vacation started December 21st. Monday morning, december 24th, when I was supposed to be on my way to atlanta, instead I had to stop in Ocala to fix a PC. After replacing the Power Supply, the MD told me 'This could have waited until you got back'.
At the same time, one of my morons infected her PC for the 5th time in 2012 with the EXACT SAME VIRUS she always gets. I ask the Help Desk to follow up with it. What do they do 'Scott will be back to re-image'. The actual fix? Delete her profile and create a new one.
They routed all morning Help Desk calls to my phone while I was on vacation. Thursday monring, I was woken with a spam of calls regarding a billing program and our webmail program being down.
The webmail program is still down, which means everyone in florida who get's company email to their phones isn't getting those emails. For over a week now. And I have to ASK to get updated on the status, which I still haven't gotten.
Another person had a problem with remoting into a PC. HD told her the PC must be dead. I get back, and find out it was simply a DNS issue and all I had to do was flush dns on the local PC to fix it.
They don't even bother trying anymore. And this shit is what they are SUPPOSED to be handling so we can focus on important clinical issues like Treatment affecting problems with imaging provision.
Just ranting, but it's amazing how much I beat my self up over my work performance, only to find out I'm holding myself to a standard none of my contemporaries even consider.

They slack off because they know you'll take care of whatever they don't.
I've refused a company phone for 7 years now; I don't want the leash. I did take the laptop though. Comes in handy having an extra one.

you have no one to blame but yourself.

My involvement was from a group interview aspect. If I was the hiring manager, at least one of these guys wouldn't have made it.
Then again, they are both 'new', to us, at least, but that doesn't change some of these first year rookie mistakes.
