    100%. I’ll never ever step foot in that hospital again.

    They denied me phone calls to my family for over 24hrs so they were worried and looking for me.

    I’ll never forget the slap in the face when I got out and they billed me 50$ for a grilled cheese sandwich and saltines.

    I went to the hospital for a cough (it was ultimately pneumonia). It was a holiday so Drs weren’t open.

    During intake they determined I was a “threat to myself and others”, detained me, and drugged me.

    They tried to make me foot the bill and sent me to collections without any prior notice months later.

    I disputed it with credit. And explained the situation, how I was held against my will and how they exceeded the scope of care.

    The credit bureau surprisingly sided with me and cleared my credit of any wrong doing.

    I later found out that several American hospitals were needlessly drugging adolescents and it was a huge problem.




  • It sucks that education institutions care so little for people not using giant corpo microshit though.

    Its so bad too.

    Our school used ciscovpn for access to the university cluster and web services.

    I figured out how to configure openconnect to work properly. And even wrote and hosted documentation for other Linux users to do the same.

    However the school had no interest in incorporating my documentation into their VPN help site.
