Me: Should I get help?It was a blood pressure spike caused by a stressful situation. They took some meds and within an hour had returned to normal. Thank goodness.
Coworker: Just give me a minute. I can't afford to go out of here in an ambulance again.
But can we really consider ourselves as good as the rest of the developed world when a gainfully employed individual covered by the company insurance plan still feels they can't afford a trip to the hospital? Not even when I find them squatting and sweating by a machine in a panic and have to fetch their medicine from twenty feet away because they can't stand up? How screwed up is that?
