This is just over generalization of your experience.

A primary care doctor should ask questions like if you are stressed out as it affects your life but they are not going to have a long non-medical related conversation because you are no longer a kid and also they won’t remember you until you go back the next time so why waste time when they can see other patients, unless it’s a psychiatrist. The questionnaire they have has all the required medical questions.

Doctors aren’t out to get your money. You don’t even pay them directly. Blame the health insurance companies for that. If they did want to take your money wouldn’t they make you do more tests and take more of your money? There are a lot of ways to get your money apart from anesthesia.

Maybe there is a different medical reason but it is certainly not to just to make your pay for anesthesia. I’m not in a medical field so I can’t into those details. However, I had some oral surgery and I refused anesthesia as I could handle the pain and didn’t want to pay more money. The surgeon didn’t force it on me. I’m not sure where you live but I hadn’t heard that we are forced to take anesthesia when it might not be required as it has its own risk. Why would the hospital risk that? Just to make more money when they can just order other non-risky expensive tests?

Isn’t the WiFi free? It’s free for a reason. You aren’t forced to use it.

Did you reach out to the seller to confirm? In my experience, if the listing has expired which happens when only one 1 item is being sold, eBay doesn’t show all the info after the sale. I try to look up old orders and this happens a lot. The sellers are usually responsive and care about their ratings so they will provide any listing clarification or even a refund before you can leave a negative review. eBay is also good with buyer protection if the sellers refuses a refund. I suspect eBay cannot change their reviews so they are giving time for the sellers to resolve any issues.

Not sure how large but I recently got a bill for $3000 without having any issues. It took a while for it to get through the insurance but I didn’t have to make any calls. If you are disputing each charge and getting them to reduce the bill, then that’s a different story. Again, maybe only my experience has been good.

Another post to feed America Bad and EU Good circlejerk on Lemmy.

Yes, the system is bad and we should have universal healthcare but I never had to call anyone to figure anything out in the past 15 years. The hospital sends me the bills after getting it through insurance. Not sure who your insurance provider is but this issue is not common.

It is crazy because OPs case is not very common, at least in my experience. The hospital sends the bills to the insurance and later I get a bill for what I owe. I don’t need to make any calls.

It’s the worst site. Every time I need to scroll all the way to the bottom to click Accept. It’s like they made it that way on purpose.

I don’t use Firefox on iOS mobile devices. All browsers are just Safari with a different skin. Safari does all the ad block and anti-track. Sorry, if you were asking me about Firefox extensions.

Download Adblock / Adblock Plus / Adgaurd app. Follow the instructions in the app to add the Extension for Safari.

For system-wide ad block in apps, use something like NextDNS. This blocks the app banners.

You can block all these ads just with Safari or Firefox without uBlock Origin. I haven’t seen an ad on my iPhone in like a decade.

I use an iPhone and don’t see any ads and block trackers / popups. Lots of ways to block them.

I never implied that. Ask the ISP why they have separate hotspot / tablet / watch plans.

It’s unlimited data for your phone and not for all the devices you can connect to. I agree with your sentiment. Just trying to point what the companies have in their ToS. I will be glad to hotspot to all my devices from my phone and not pay for WiFi.

It’s to stop people from abusing unlimited data on their cellphone for all their WiFi devices at home. I know a person who did not have WiFi at home and only used their cellphone data. You are using more than a typical cellphone user and also you are cutting them from an opportunity to sell you a WiFi plan for your home. It’s annoying, but as I understand it, this is the reason.

Not just testing, it used to be an issue many years ago. I’ve let people know that I’m still getting auto-responses when I know they are back from vacation. It happened to me too and I was reminded by my coworker. Also, the idea is you don’t check the your outlook when you are on vacation. It’s not designed for people on vacation who still check and respond to every email.

Same thing happened to me with monster jobs. I just blocked their emails.
