Sorry for your loss that will be $100k

Doctor doesn't tell people what they owe, it's usually the billing department or their office manager who does (at least in the US)

Source: This was my job after college. I worked for a mental hospital, and it was my job to tell people how much their hospital stay was going to cost. A lot of the time, these patients were hospitalized because they've tried to commit suicide. So glad I don't work there anymore.

For some of them, I was able to sign them up for Medicaid, so their stay could be covered. Lots of people set up payment plans. For the people who didn't/couldn't pay, we would send them to collections. My hospital very, very rarely wrote anyone off. IIRC the cost for one night without insurance was around $4k.

What's your religion?

I was raised as a strict Catholic, then stopped believing once I went to college and met people who challenged my worldview. Now I am agnostic. Not sure I want to call myself a definitive atheist, as I believe there COULD be something out there. However, if there is something out there, I don't think it cares enough about this tiny blue dot in the entire universe.

What are you playing this Wednesday? - September 27, 2023

Blooming Panic and MysMe both have a chatroom as a setting. Blooming Panic is a shorter game BUUUT it's completely free, it's not a mobile game so it doesn't need energy or coins to unlock chats, and it has a skip system if you like replaying to get all the ends. MysMe has a more fleshed out story, it's got more content, and it has more romance options (and 707 my ultimate otome bias lol). I don't want to give too much of the story away, but Blooming Panic can have it's dark moments although not as dark as MysMe imo

Jumins bad end is definitely one of my fave ends if you pick it up again, but it's not for the faint hearted :'D

What are you playing this weekend? 6/9

I've played every Pokemon game since the original Red, and it's definitely getting staler. I enjoyed Sun/Moon a lot but I can't recommend Sword/Shield or Scarlet/Violet at all. Hope that ToTK scratches that open world itch that I have from games like Skyrim, BoTW and Horizon Zero Dawn/Forbidden West.
