Please don't give them any ideas. It's bad enough already.

I just got three bills in the mail over the course of a month for a single procedure. They haven’t said they’re done billing me yet, so I can’t assume the bill storm is over

What a wolrd where free health care isn't gobally available. We should help those third wolrd countries.

But first a word from our sponsors! Durex!

Nobody's going to mention the lit stick of dynamite?

[-] papalonian@lemmy.world 15 points 1 year ago

This is a shtick of this comic series. The number above the author's signature indicates how many of these recurring objects (the dynamite, eyeball, I believe the crown is one of them) are present in that comic. This one supposedly has 4 but I can't find the fourth one anywhere

I thought either that or something to do with the can of soda

Edit: looked up a list of hidden symbols from the comic. The crown is one, and the "K2" at the end of the soda logo is the last one.

Yeah they always put something like that in a weird hiden spot

[-] stebo02@sopuli.xyz 5 points 1 year ago

what about the eyeball just laying there?

[-] ALilOff@lemmy.world 27 points 1 year ago

Excuse me miss did you want the unlimited viewing plan or just the 5 minute package? If you plan longer than 5 minutes I recommend you to go with unlimited, cause it’ll cost you more later.

To see a colored version of the scan, download our finicky app from the App Store, turn on location, Bluetooth, camera, and voice. To zoom into images, upgrade to paid app.

And you can pay for and print your pictures after the ride/appointment.

Lol I thought it was an alcohol ad at first.

[-] henfredemars@infosec.pub 14 points 1 year ago

I would take this willingly if it was cheaper.

But it won't be cheaper. Instead, it becomes the new basic plan at the price you're paying today.

Hear me out... Maternity Ward... on the blockchain!

[-] WhatsHerBucket@lemmy.world 11 points 1 year ago

That’s a lot of real estate! We’ll give you a discount if you just wrap your belly with these other ads.

[-] debounced@kbin.run 8 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

and they better watch out, there's a live stick of dynamite next to that ekg machine. time's a ticking, hurry up and buy!

Coming to Ontario hospitals

[-] Polar@lemmy.ca 3 points 1 year ago

Thanks, conservatives!

What a stupid example. Nurses and equipment are expensive, and get repaid in patients per hour. They would rather make money with your presence in the hallways and waiting rooms, and could route you/keep you waiting to optimize for capacity and profit.

Better example would be the app controlled washing machine that tortures you into subscription with ads. Or vacuum. Or freaking light switch: I'll turn on the light after this message from...

[-] Polar@lemmy.ca 6 points 1 year ago

As a Canadian, I agree with you, but this is probably made by an American, and they don't get paid by patients per hour.

They nickel and dime everyone. Our ad added an extra 50 seconds to the appointment? Well now your bill went from $45,000 to $47,000.

[-] eldain@feddit.nl 1 points 1 year ago

But if they can ask 5 patients for 47000 instead of 4, profits still go up, don't they?
