My dog is fine, though, which is the most important thing to me. The raccoons scratched my arm kinda bad and my legs are covered in scratches. My doctor can’t be sure if the raccoons had saliva on their claws, and wants me to get rabies shots just in case. She sent me to an ER because she can’t get the shots in our area.

I’ve been at the hospital for 3 hours and haven’t been seen.

It’s after my bedtime and I have to wake up at 5am for work…

I’m not having a good time.

    Go to the hospital and don’t pay your bill. It ain’t your job to keep yourself healthy, it’s the job of the government to keep their citizens healthy. Full stop. If you’re in the US they’ve become confused by their actual objective. It’s time to remind them.

      I live in socialist paradise and I still think that’s a weird, weird thing to say.

        Why? I pay so much taxes. If I could withhold the taxes i would be able to take care of myself without issue.

    Choose your capitalist fate!

    Path A: medical bankruptcy.

    Path B: incurable disease and certain horrible death.

    Quite a system the wealthy have built for us. I’ll be terribly disappointed if the book doesn’t end with a bunch of guillotines.
