Remember a few months back, the link to a blog that a guest posted called The Saga - No Comment about this woman who did IVF - the one who was repugnant with twins, lost the one baby and had the other VERY prematurely? The one who was checking her referrals and saw our site in her referrals which resulted in a JUNTA of trolls invading our space here? And a nasty comment in her blog about us? Well, out of morbid curiosity, I kept tabs on that situation. The kid is a few months old now. This was from today's blog. THIS IS WHY IVF IS VERY WRONG AND A WASTE OF OUR FUCKING INSURANCE MONEY. I'd love to see this bitch's insurance company deny every fucking claim. I hope she has a million dollar cap.
I love the part where she tries to validate herself by saying, ".........events that all available facts indicate had nothing to do with my infertility......."
"We got the final bills for her NICU stay recently, and the total caused me to reach for my salts: $802,841.90. That does not include anesthesiology; daily visits by the attending neonatologists; her PDA surgery; visits by nephrology, hematology, ophthalmology and other specialists; or radiology—those account for another $50,000.00 in bills, bills we have collected in a 3-inch-thick stack while we wait for insurance to finish paying their share. Then we have the $67,000.00 for my hospital bedrest and subsequent Caesarian, and lets not even count the cost of the IVF cycle that spawned 17 embryos, only two of which survived to be transferred and only one of which survived to be born. The total is well over $900,000.00.
To quite a few people, these numbers are revolting, the sort of thing to be trotted out to illustrate Why Fertility Treatment is Wrong, as if I could have predicted the chain of events that lead to Her premature birth, events that all available facts indicate had nothing to do with my infertility. For some these numbers illustrate most clearly how ill my daughter was, and how close we came to losing her, and some see the inflation of health care costs and the impossibility of the situation facing the uninsured. Still others see only opportunities for many, many “Million Dollar Baby” jokes. My immediate thoughts upon reviewing these sums are twofold. First, that my daughter was worth every penny."
OF COURSE SHE IS! YOU'RE NOT PAYING THE FUCKING BILLS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
