This man brings his mother to the ER and when we get him to sign the consents he starts marking things out like "The doctors are independent contractors and will bill seperately for their sevrvices. The hospital isn't responsible for their actions (not exactly as worded but you get the idea)" He says if the hospital won't bill for them then we won't pay.. ok buddy. He also marks out the part of the consent that says if you don't pay you get turned over to a collection agency. So the person that registered him told the dept head about it.
Yeasterday he came up to the arena and started yelling at my boss (who isn't over the ER) He says that the hospital is trying to take his "sizeable inhearitance". Greedy little bastard!! After he said that all concern for him went out the window. If he phrased it differently and nobody would have thought much of it but came out and said it. He claims he took the papers to a lawyer and the lawyer said that the hospital could take all his money... bs.. it took months for them to draw up our new concents.
We couldn't register patients at desk one because this asshole was yelling, he couldn't talk like a normal person. Every time the director of the department tried tried to speak he'd yell at her and interrupt her. I can see how he didn't want the hospital taking all her $$ but it's a service and we all have to pay for it. End of life care is a hard thing to deal with and if you're going about talking about money due to you, you probably don't diserve it.
Why did he come to us? Because he wanted to yell at us and the CEO alredy dismissed him.
