Ditto on that one.

Bigshrimpin how much your kidney stones cost ya?

strick
Two trips to the ER!! Twin 4mm kidney stones. One last Sunday and the second on Tuesday. Friggin most panful thing ever!! I was peeing blood on the second . . . otherwise I wouldn't have gone back (well maybe . . . just for the pain killers). Only $50 co-pay each trip Blue Cross and Blue Shield. Although . . . It did cost me two days of lost wages, b/c I'm a contractor (for an insurance company ). Single guy insurance is much cheaper than the family plans. Well . . . if you tally up the 12 years of monthly insurance premiums ($5000/year my contribution 10% + employers contribution 90%) and figure that I haven't had any health care procedures other than this . . . the insurance company is making out pretty well.
