I got out of the hospital after 4 days.Indihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01210023870470958852noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3533986275392579293.post-16073024508141254772011-10-02T23:47:00.412+09:002011-10-02T23:47:00.412+09:00Here in Aust, most states now pay hospitals based ...Here in Aust, most states now pay hospitals based on what the procedure was - a fixed amount that they think it should cost for that condition. So, if the hospital gets an operation and 3 days recuperation of funding for your condition, and they get you out (safely) in 2 days, they 'make' money on you, to offset another case where the patient had to stay an extra day. It's called casemix finding, good stuff.<br /><br />Maybe they get paid by the day, or have you noticed that they keep bringing in groups of people (students especially) when they prod you?aimlesswanderernoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3533986275392579293.post-82515735915064962772011-10-02T09:55:23.452+09:002011-10-02T09:55:23.452+09:00Thanks everyone.

The bitchy doctor gave me 'a look' when I came out hair dripping and a look of pure satisfaction on my face. Shampoo and conditioner has never felt so good!<br />Ryota talked to bitchy weekend doctor but she's a stubborn one, so I have to convince my doctor tomorrow that I can escape. I don't plan on staying after tomorrow, I've decided to just walk out tomorrow if they give me any shit. <br />We'll see what happens anyway!Corinnehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17837500129573276985noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3533986275392579293.post-78145806715684303762011-10-02T09:23:35.701+09:002011-10-02T09:23:35.701+09:00That sucks, esp the no shower part.

I had pneumonia and they made me stay overnight, even tho I was like a million times better after the drip. That's the problem with social health care...they wanna control everything! But alas, it works sometimes. Anyways good news is you don't have to worry about your tonsils anymore!!!! YIPPIE!! and may I add, you look mighty hot in your pics <3Kelseyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15463233308877115371noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3533986275392579293.post-960025572132628362011-10-01T20:36:51.668+09:002011-10-01T20:36:51.668+09:00Seems a bit excessive, I had surgery to get metal ...Seems a bit excessive, I had surgery to get metal put in for a broken collarbone in Japan and was out 3 days after the operation.

It ...They must make money out of you staying there.<br />It was the same here a few years ago. The hospital received money for each day you were staying, so they kept you there for like forever. Since this was bad for the system, they changed it to a certain payment per operation, no matter how long you stay. Since then they throw you out on the street still bleeding. You just gotta leave. You can't walk? Well, get someone to pick you up. But you still can't walk? Suck it up, you got to leave!Michellehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00315960791493911268noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3533986275392579293.post-59231432210043147452011-10-01T17:19:49.424+09:002011-10-01T17:19:49.424+09:00Yes, they told my husband that he would have to st...Yes, they told my husband that he would have to stay for one week for a stomach bug. He told them he was leaving the same day. They were pissed, but it was a total waste for him to stay there. He was happy to get home.<br /><br />Same when I had a miscarriage, they wanted me to stay the night, but fought it and left the same day...ridiculous here!! They also told me not to take a shower...I did immediately though.Ashleyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13971052643885063220noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3533986275392579293.post-50396817754694127302011-10-01T14:54:29.000+09:002011-10-01T14:54:29.000+09:00that does seem strange about the hair, but maybe s...that does seem strange about the hair, but maybe she's afraid you'll spray water down your throat and then you'll die (i exaggerate).<br /><br />let's see, i'm pretty sure a friend left the hospital early after giving birth, but had to sign papers and was basically made to felt she was the Worst Parent EVAH!! for leaving before her five days were up. i managed to get out early after my gall bladder attack (they wanted me to stay a few more days, but the kids were having a really shitty time with my MIL--yoshi was also sick of his mother after me being in hospital for 11 days.) same hospital, let me go home 2 days earlier than usual after the gallbladder removal, maybe because of me going home 'early' a few months before.<br /><br />get ryota involved and get the hell out of there!!illaheehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08109064612619771372noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3533986275392579293.post-75121796020537230062011-10-01T14:09:53.594+09:002011-10-01T14:09:53.594+09:00wtf... you can't wash your hair?

(might be something to do with the fact that in our semi-socialized system of access for all it is just cheaper for the government). Are they making money out of it? Are the Japanese litigious? Or just sooky?

I was out in 6.<br /><br />#2 Had my nose reset from old boxing wounds and amazingly they were saying 10-14 days. After the 4th day and the unnecessary iv came out I summoned the best English speaker and said. If I am not permitted to leave by noon with whatever meds you think I need...I'm just gonna walk. I don't have the unneeded iv anymore and I can take pills at home. the T.V. is ALL Japanese and I'm going crazy. It stops at noon today.<br /><br />**Dr assist comes up and says monday will be o.k. (it was a Friday) I said nope. I'm leaving in an hour...<br /><br />Dr. comes up and tries to laugh off me laughing him off and says I need to come back in a week anyway so I can just stay...it'll be easier....Easier? 7 more days of mind numb?? I said see you next week as I started getting dressed and that was that.<br /><br />Both times I left after the I.V. and heavy pain meds ceased.Chrishttp://badboyinjapan.blogspot.com/noreply@blogger.com
