I now know WHY healthcare is so screwed in this country - rant to follow
Advertisements [?]
I just tried to call my brother who is at a hospital on NYC, for chest pain. He evidently cannot turn his cell phone on in the hospital. And I cannot get in touch with him unless I agree to pay a TEN DOLLAR A DAY phone charge!

WTF????? I have never -- NEVER -- had any hospital charge me any sort of FEE for having a phone in my room so relatives from out of town can call me!!!

Excuse me??? For the amount of money these frigging hospitals charge just to lay in their damned beds they should not only provide a phone - they should provide a BODY to answer the damned thing for you!

I have to go punch something I'm so fed up. I had to hang up, because I really just wanted to start cursing EVERYONE out.

UNbelievable!
