46. Elitist hospital treatment or something else?
Mon Jul 13, 2026, 07:54 AM

Wife had a fall in the backyard, at 82 years old, she couldn't get up by herself and cried with pain when I tried to help her.
Thought she had broken something.
Called an ambo, the two helped her up and brought her inside, then monitored her vitals.
Then left.
No transport to the hospital for a 1 month stay of tests and observation.
Got the bill later.

Mitch either got the royal treatment or something is up.

Hopefully he gets the hint and stays home from now on.
Wifey can be sweet to him and baby him, like feed him chicken soup on the hour.
