California spends about ONE BILLION dollars a year to keep
750 persistent vegetative people alive. And they are not
really alive.

In ten years thats TEN BILLION DOLLARS.

Why would you be on constant antibiotics? Sounds like you're pretty dumb and your doctor's are your equals, pathetic.

Re: How much money do you think it costs EVERY DAY to keep me alive?
It doesn't actually cost NEARLY as much as you think it does to keep you alive.

It is made to look that way due to greed and over-inflated billing. Your system is disgusting, corrupt, and broken.

Our system isn't perfect, but the same treatment here would "cost" much less because our system isn't for profit.

Re: How much money do you think it costs EVERY DAY to keep me alive?
Seriously... care to guess how much are my medical bills are every single day?

I am in my early 50's. Serious health issues with the most significant being that I am resistant to just about all anti-biotics. As a result, I go to the hospital every single day, 7 days a week, for IV injections.

If I had to describe myself, I am project manager... it is in my blood. I have always rated my day on how much I accomplished. For many years.... decades, I could honestly say that I contributed to society. It is how I have valued myself.

Not so much anymore, now that I am disabled and require so much medical care that it has become a full-time job just to stay alive. I do have two teenage kids, and my relationship with them over the last few years has been wonderful and I hope I am able to provide value to them now, and that it will have a positive impact for the rest of their lives. But that is about it.

Back to the question... want to take a guess on how much it costs every single day -- to keep me alive, and how much is too much?

Yeah... I tried that about 6 months ago. Refused treatment. Came home and went to bed. My wife dialed 911. Cops came -- took 8 of them -- but they hauled me off, and I got the treatment they wanted me to have and a bunch more.

Why do you have a chronic infection? Is it from an implant or something?

I do pray you get off the antibiotics soon and have a full recovery.

1, 2, 3's, and A, B, C's is that existence of tech and advancements should mean everyone is helped.

Money is an arbitrary thing, it doesnt exist except as a man made slave mechanism.

So don't worry about the money. All that do should work to throw off the elite and 1% and end all banks and go Venus Project.

Solves all these problems.

But they don't get to do the lazy method of selling each other and those in need out, because then they're not only demons, but harming people. And we say fuck you, and lock and load. Demons have the right to go to the corner and stare at their navels and direct all their harm to only themselves.

You always do the right thing. Get rid of this corrupt system including the banks, but keep invention and tech and training and volunteering alive and well and in the hearts of every child.

Money is a crime against humanity, slavery and murder, all rolled up into one.

 Quoting: Anonymous Coward 7008321


I had at least 5 put in over the last 16 months. The last one led to a major infection in my arm and was pulled a few days after it went in. The one before that only worked for a few weeks. They can keep a regular iv in me for a week then pull it and give me a break for 24 hours. The hassle of pulling and waiting a week to get a new one scheduled requires an iv line while I wait anyway.

If I get through this I may try the permanent port line that goes into the chest.

 Quoting: Anonymous Coward 61925764


If I can get off the iv antibiotics in April and stay out of the hospital the bill might stay under $1m. If I can't beat the infection with what they have me on now then I will probably go inpatient and be put on an even more expensive set of antibiotics. Have no idea how long I could be on that or the costs.

March will come in at 350k alone. Probably half that in February. 600k in the first quarter.

Other than a few bouts with Lyme disease in the early 90s I had not been sick until I moved to the Philippines. It was there that I was seriously injured and in a very dirty environment for several days before I could get medical help. Started getting infections then, including chronic osteomyelitis. That was 15 years ago and I have been battling infections ever since.

Re: How much money do you think it costs EVERY DAY to keep me alive?
I assume your plan doesn't have a maximum limit.

What else is going on here? You say you are resistant to most antibiotics but what is causing the constant infections? Do you have an immune disease?

My dad is allergic to most antibiotics but it only becomes a problem if he gets sick, which he manages to avoid for the most part.
