Centinela charges $21 for a single 200 mg Advil!
This is the kind of thing that makes me insane. When the hospital has to be buying in enormous bulk, how can they mark up the price 2,000% on something I can walk into any supermarket and buy?
Handsome brooding vampire guy has to swoop in all sensitive mouth and overhanging forehead. How 'bout leaving some scraps for the homely-looking fellows who don't turn evil when they get some?

According to hospital officials, its to compensate for deadbeats on Medicare/Medicaid. Yes. It is NUTS, though. Worse than military spending.

Sadly, it doesn't seem unrealistic that they would put it exactly that way.

Zorro the kitty doesn't at all resemble a fox - but he is very cute.
My town: I can walk to the library, restaurants, some shops (including the local art shop) and the post office. Sadly, all the actual grocery stores are all on the outskirts of town - and not walkable. I used to walk to work. . .but haven't done that in a while.
I do have a Walgreen's with a smallish grocery section that is totally walking distance.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.
Lee, how does your mother get the science so wrong?
You've seen what she does with genetics, right?
I didn't, in the end, tell her to STFU, but I did ask her if she realized it sounded like she was blaming me for the cancer, and I haven't heard anything from her since, so I guess it had the same effect.

Good god, y'all, we SO need universal health care.
Has anyone done the study on the millions of dollars of lost US productivity from wrestling with insurers? I bet someone has.
