Well the blood suckers at Hopkins have been paid...


But I had to come up with an additional 5k this morning. Oh well at least they have their money and I am back on track for surgery. No Date yet but I imagine it will be late this week or early next week...barring anything unforseen. I had to get a 3D cat scan this AM...Why...I don't know. But I did it is over and wooo hooo I can go back to the house and take a nap."

Calls the people that supposedly to save his life, bloodsuckers!

Well The Bloodsuckers at Hopkins Have Been Paid

He also bitches about have to come up with another $5K.

...just beam them up! The DUmmies ARE aliens! LOL!

[gidget7]

I find it strange, if this operation is for pancreatic cancer, a hospital puts it off. That is done on an emergency basis, and if it's too far advanced, inoperable.

Would be extremely irresponsible of such a well known hospital, to say the least.

[imskylark]

Why don't you buy several packs at a time instead of going several times a day to buy them?

[PJ-Comix]

Andy is just 5K away from being completely cured by the bloodsuckers.

[ariamne]

I can no longer be a part of DU as much as it pains me. I write this with tears people. I love this place, but I can no longer be part of this community unless a public apology is issued to Andy.

Yeah, right. Betcha she has no intention of quitting, she'd die without the drama.

I just checked out that thread you posted about Andy finally "paying" Johns Hopkins today. However, I did get a laugh out of this DUmmie question later in the thread:

When will you officially be admitted?

Uh, sometime between nil and NEVER.

[BTHOtu]

For those of us keeping score at home, is the $5K on top of the $50K or on top of the $25K up front money? Are we supposed to believe that Johns Hopkins is doing the "ol' bait & switch" for the operation?

Hospital Administrator: I'm sorry Mr. Stephenson, but we are out of that operation right now. But I can get you a better operation for an additional $5,000.

Andy: No problem, let me post over at DU real quick. Their money is good.

DUMMIE ALERT!

DUMMIE ALERT!

DUMMIE ANDY STEPHENSON PAYS HOSPITAL BILL!


Our thanks to speed_addiction, who caught this while I was in town getting some cigarettes:

Another funnie DUmmie quote on that thread:

Thats downright weird. What kind of a medical outfit demands $ upfront? I went into an emergency room without insurance. They gave me good care, no questions asked, and I set up a repayment plan with them afterward. Have things changed that much in the last 3 or 4 years???

Actually NO. They haven't changed that much in the past few years unless you are running a con game.

[KJC1]

Exactly. Plus, Johns Hopkins is a private hospital, not a public one.

Also, I can't imagine Johns Hopkins is too thrilled with being slammed over and over on the Internet by being called heartless and blood-sucking.

THE SILENCE OF THE SCAMS.......

[franksolich]

Uh, obviously you've never smoked.

Nasty habit, smoking.

Anyway, like most smokers, I find that the more easily available the cigarettes are, the more I smoke.

Which is why it is a BAD idea to buy cigarettes by the carton.

Forcing oneself to buy them one package at a time cuts down.

I had worked all weekend, because I wished to be in DUmmieland Monday-Tuesday-Wednesday-Thursday this week, but what happened was that I discovered I needed "breaks," and going to town to get some cigarettes, cleaning the cat-litter box, pulling weeds, whatnot, give one "breaks."
