No.
But here are my baby names. I do realize however that since it may be awhile before I pop out some kids, these names might change…reasons why? Someone in my family might use some of these names, therefore I cannot use them or the names might get too popular, and I can’t have a normal name for my kids.
Boys:
Wesley Thomas
Oliver Lawrence
Girls:
Lydia Kaye
Sophia Lien
Jayde Demaris (J.D. for short)
So I figured I would write a blog about a really annoying thing that happened to me recently.
As most of you might know, I went to the hospital on March 6th after the Dr. at UNLV recommended I should. I sat at the hospital (Spring Valley Hospital) for 2 hours before a nurse came up to me and asked me the following questions:
How much do you weigh?
How tall are you?
Do you smoke?
Are you sexually active?
Do you drink?
What are your symptoms?
On a scale of one to ten, how much pain are you in?
Then she left. About a half hour later, I just wanted to go home and sleep in my bed. And by that time I had stopped vomiting and I was getting re-hydrated. So Brandon went up to the front desk and told them we were leaving and they said “Ok, we will cross you off the list and shred your records”.
Now, a few weeks later we get a bill in the mail for $105.00 from Spring Valley Hospital. When looking at the charges it says 1 Triage = $105.00 and uninsured discount -21.00. So we would owe them $84.00
First stupid thing: We have insurance, so we didn’t stay long enough for them to get my insurance, but we stayed long enough to get charged $105.00. Stupid.
Next stupid thing: My husband calls to say we aren’t paying it, and of course, they need my permission to talk to my husband about this, so after playing “three-way calling while Ashley is a work”, he finally gets to discuss the situation. The lady on the phone states that the charges on the bill are because a nurse came and took my vitals. To those of you who don’t know, vitals are: (according to Wikipedia) four vital signs which are standard in most medical settings:
The equipment needed is a thermometer, a sphygmomanometer, and a watch.
The nurse who came up to me did not take ANY of these vitals. So when Brandon asked the lady on the phone if they had my pulse, blood pressure or temperature on my medical records (since that is why they were charging me) she said “no, but she took her weight and height.” By “taking” my weight and height, does she mean ask me and write it down? Cause that’s exactly what happened.
After the run around for a while, Brandon asked for the supervisor since the lady wouldn’t listen to reason and she kept stating “It isn’t going to help anything, you still have to fill out a dispute charge”. After the FOURTH time of asking for the supervisor, she suddenly said that he wasn’t there. So Brandon left his name and number to get a phone call.
No phone call ever came…surprise, surprise. So I had to take time out of MY day, drive 25 min to Spring Valley Hosital Customer Service building and file a dispute against the charges. They couldn’t send me the paperwork, and stated I had to personally come in there and fill out the paper.
When I got there, the lady was just as unhelpful as the one on the phone. She said that the nurse took my vitals and that was why we were charged. I wrote out what happened…and what DIDN’T happen, and now I have to wait for a letter stating whether or not they accepted my dispute or not.
Really???…really?…they not only want to charge me for treatment I didn’t have, then they make my drive all the way down there to write down my story and then send me on my way without telling me whether or not my dispute will be approved? This was a hassle and I hate Spring Valley Hospital and will NEVER go there again.
