I mean when they showed up, yeah their sirens were on. When they left the paramedics were joking and slowly shoved fatty into the back of an ambulance. Then drove slowly away.

I find it funny that despite being taken to hospital by ambulance he still was forced to use their check in kiosk. I guess not that big of an emergency after all.

Dude, how is he able to get away with calling and using these services so much? Like does this cost him any money? Sorry I'm totally unfamiliar with the way you guys run your medical and insurance

His mom was bitching about how an ambulance ride was now costing him $500. Presumably because of overuse. An unsubsidized ambulance ride in the US will cost you over a grand so he's still getting subsidized.

It's $50 in BC per ambulance call and $80 if they transport you to the hospital. If he's on disability of some sort it would be subsidized. Either he racked up a huge fucking bill or he's lying (likely both).

You know it's weird, I thought going by his tweets last night, his ambulance ride was from Harrison, coz he was in the lake? But he was actually at home?
Fucking lol.

He's reminding me of someone and I can't quite put my finger on who.

My God. That's three more times than I've ever taken an ambulance in my life, and I'm a LOT older than he is. If I were him I think I'd just voluntarily check into hospice care at this point.

Now that's a business idea a hospice for munchies as we know the drs gatekeep hospice beds much to the annoyance of munchies who are definitely dying and not just wanting unlimited access to pain meds instead of pain management courses and treatment to make the pain STOP when being high 24/7 sounds better. Because they would crowd fund stupid money for a place it be possible to donate some of the money to real hospices

If it was filmed Big brother style I would definitely watch hospice for munchies. Imagine the catfights over who has the most sooper speshul condishuns and competing hypermoblity displays for their true and honest EDS

I don't know where you are getting those numbers from. The cheapest I've seen is $500.
 
I love that his wig is hanging off the coat rack in the corner. I'm sharing that video on the general munchie megathread because it's probably the worst out of all the fake seizure videos posted there.

Who paid 500 for an ambulance ride in BC? Maybe the price for non residents in BC? I accompanied someone on their ambulance ride once and they got an 80 dollar bill.

I'm seriously baffled. I've never seen a charge of $50. I've seen $500 - 830 with msp coverage.

Could that price include other services apart from the ride? Like maybe the cost starts to rise when they have to administer resuscitation.

From BC. Costs 500. Same in other provinces. May be less if you’re insured etc.

Do you pay a set package price and have a limit on how much medical costs you can incur, say, in a year and after that you pay for everything yourself?
