Should women be expected to wear make up into the office?
Should women be expected to wear make up into the office? Any thoughts on the pros and cons?
I once had a friend who was in a client-facing role and was told by her manager that she should put in more effort into her appearance.
[QUESTION - OTHER] Am I able to negotiate this ER bill, and if so, where do I start?
Thank you for time in helping me figure this out. I’ve been given the run around so I figured I could turn to this community!
So on June 14, in Ohio, US, I went to the emergency room because I dropped something on my foot and thought I may have had a small fracture. Turns out it was just a bone bruise and nerve sweeping. I did have a couple of X-rays and an air cast(like a little splint) and was on my way out.
I received a bill that just said “radiology- diagnostic gen - $925.88” and “emergency room - $2,286.28” along with an insurance adjustment of $1,400 (I’m assuming because it was in network?). I have not reached my deductible on my insurance plan so they are not paying anything. I also received a separate bill for the emergency specialist of $200, which I have already paid in full.
I called the billing department and requested a further itemized bill and they sent me the same bill, so I’m thinking this is as itemized as it gets? It’s so vague.
My question is, where do I start to negotiate this? I’d be willing to pay for a portion immediately if they lowered it to that portion. But I would also like to see a further breakdown to see if I was charged fairly. Paying this whole bill would put me in a tight spot. I know you can do a payment plan, but I’d really like to get it reduced and taken care of.
I saw a post on r/all the other day about doctor bills usually being way overpriced with the expectation of negotiation. I’ll link it if I can find it again.
Thanks so much!

An uninsured Colorado man who had appendicitis owed $80,232 after two surgeries. After months of negotiating with the hospital, he still owes far more than most insurers would pay for the procedures.

[Question - Other] Ghosting a doctor?
Does anybody here have any experience with either...
- Refusing a doctor's recommended medical treatment, especially if the doctor wants to prescribe a medication?
- Ghosting a doctor?
[End of question. Read on if you want to know why I'm asking.]
Six months ago, I went in for my first general physical in over 30 years, and found out that my cholesterol is higher than what they consider normal. I also had a coronary CT scan, and found out that I currently don't have any issues with my arteries, so I'm basically not really at risk of a heart attack or stroke, despite my cholesterol levels. The doctor just wanted me to exercise more and eat healthier just to bring the numbers down.
Personally, I couldn't give a crap about my numbers, if I'm not really at risk of any dangerous health conditions, but I do know that being in good health is better than not being in good health, so I made some changes to my diet and made more time to exercise. Mainly I just wanted to see if I could actually improve my cholesterol on my own, without any medication and without sticking to insanely strict rules.
Well, it turns out, I didn't succeed. I had another cholesterol test the other day, saw the results posted today, and the numbers were almost back to where they were back in February. Higher than normal, but not dangerous. But my attitude is basically, I don't know what else I could do improve it, but at this point, I don't care. It's probably going to require some drastic measures that I'd really rather not do if my current health condition isn't killing me.
But the thing is, I know my doctor wants me to set up a followup appointment to discuss my results and come up with a modified treatment plan, and based on our initial conversation back in February, I suspect that she'll want to prescribe a medication, since I failed to improve my cholesterol on my own. And if so, then I'd be on it indefinitely, and have to keep going back on a regular basis to track my progress. Just to bring down some frickin' numbers.
My doctor's office called me earlier today, and the assistant left me a message asking me to call back and schedule an appointment. I've been ignoring it. I'd rather just put this behind me and move on with my life. I never had any intentions of continuing to see this doctor on a permanent basis anyway when I first went in back in February.Is there an easy way to tell the doctor that I've decided to move on? Or can I just ignore their calls and expect that they'll quickly give up?
[Question - Insurance] If a 19 yr old is still on their parent’s insurance, does the parent know what their child is being tested for?
Long story short- I just need to know the answer to this. If state is important, it is Illinois.
Long story Long - my 20 year old sister has decided to marry a 19 year old girl that she has only been in a relationship with for 5 months. This girl claims to have multiple, sever diagnosis but the only one we can actually prove is type 1 diabetes. One of the more severe things she claims is MS. and theres atleast 3 other things she claims to have. She talks about her medical problems EVERY chance she gets! And if the convo ISNT about her medical issues, she turns it around to where it is! There’s a lot more I could say.. but I digress on that. ANYWAYS!! She told my sister that she now has a brain tumor and that nobody knows and that she hasn’t even told her mother. I asked my sister why she hasn’t told her mom and she said “um because she is an adult that is in control of her own medical records”... but if she is on her moms insurance, wouldn’t her mom know what she has been tested for???
