I'm asking this as a serious question. *WITH INSURANCE* would an American have to pay for this?
1 overnight stay + 1 visit to ER
1 CT Scan + 1 xray at ER
2 blood panels
2 urinalysis
Meds (by bag): ketorolac (4), saline (4), ondansetron (4) hydromorphone (3), fentanyl (1/2 bag) metoclopramide (1)

On the plus side, if you were in America you’d be looking at a 5 digit hospital bill at the best case.

BREAKING: In a unanimous decision, a federal court of appeals has ruled that Louisiana's law requiring the Ten Commandments to be displayed in all public school classrooms is unconstitutional.

I don’t need a set in stone schedule but I need at least a vague idea of how my days are going to play out. Anyone who has asked for anything next week has gotten a noncommittal “I might have jury duty.” I hate this nebulous shit! 🧵
