Kaiser...you have almost as good odds for a positive prognosis if you take her to Incycle.

Ouch, no bueno. Be careful at the hospital. That happened to a buddy's wife. She fainted in the bathroom and went face first into the sink. Broke a tooth, busted open her lip and the side of her face was bruised up. She was still a little loopy when they went to the emergency room so he was trying to answer the doctors questions when they asked what happened. They gave him a stern look and said that they needed to hear it from her. He was waiting for them to call the police on him for busting up his wife............

That's true but the poor, like me, cannot afford the PPOs.

Well good news, she didn’t break anything according to the nurse trainee helper lady she saw this afternoon ...
Story goes like this. She had her leg up on the bathroom countertop shaving her legs and dropped something. Quickly went to pick it up with said leg still on countertop and biffed it. Says she felt a good pop in her hip with an immediate dose of pain. Last night was not pleasant. Can’t put much weight on it let alone walk. Doc helper trainee person said it was probably dislocated and popped back in and now it’s just neurological/muscular pain. They gave her crutches so I’ll be careful what I say within swinging range. That said I might ride tomorrow...

Well... If she's sleeping peacefully on her pain meds in the morning, and you can sneak out, I hear there's a fun ride at Charlton Flats.

People who ride bikes like us should have PPOs. I hear ya about cost. My knee surgery was on an HMO and cost me $600.

And my kaiser wrist surgery in 2010 cost me $200 to have a plate with 14 screws installed to have my hand re attached to my arm. Ain’t gonna lie Covid is f@cking things up.

You're right but I think people who should ride should also have fancy cars and vacation homes in far away places.

How much would it have cost back then with a PPO?

My first shoulder surgery 12 years ago, with a PPO, cost me approximately $75, including the MRI to diagnose. That same surgery 10 years later, with a different PPO, cost me about $4K.

You're doing it wrong. 2 total knee replacements for the wife, under my HMO. $10 copy per pre-op, $11 for drugs every few weeks for a couple months. 3 months of PT, no out of pocket.
PPO would have been $8,000.

Ouch Sh!t - dislocated hip hurts like hell! But unlike a dislocated shoulder, the hip needs very little rehab if it got popped back in within a reasonable amount of time.Well good news, she didn’t break anything according to the nurse trainee helper lady she saw this afternoon ...
