Ingrate Tries to Get Medical Help
Faremount. There's nothing more appauling when some uninsured dreg comes into the Faremount Medical Center/Mustard Health System trying to get medical attention. At least according to some medical staff.
One half-breed, probably looking for a hand-out, came into FMC/MHS complaining of flu like symptoms. He claimed that his girlfriend exposed him to mononucleosis by transferring her saliva into his mouth. (atypical of his kind and their brood) Dr. Handsem was the physician that "cared" for him.
"Well," Dr. Handsem sighed. "If he didn't have a fever, then I probably would've just blown him off until he got tired of waiting for me and left. But, we doctors take that hypocratic oath, so I gave him the 'uninsured' exam. Which consists of taking his temp, bloodpressure, look in his ears, his throat and then tell him it's a virus and send him away."
"Then, he complained that his kidneys were hurting and that he was peeing blood. I'm like great, now this ingrate is trying to milk the system! So I poked him in the kidneys, he said it hurt, then I poked him the bladder area and he said that it didn't cause him discomfort. So I told him there was nothing to worry about, it was just a virus and to take some penicillin and he'd be fine."
But, the trouble didn't stop there, he left and then returned demanding a mono test, a strep culture and a urinary analysis. The head physician, Dr. Darnell explained to the uninsured dreg that mono is only present in the blood after a week, then he said that the strep culture would not be neccessary as uninsured people don't contract strep. As far as the bloody urine, they took a U.A. sample from him and then discarded it after he left.
Said patient applied for State insurance, but unfortunately makes $25 more than what he should to be able to apply for Minnesota U Care program.
