<prompt> Human: So Im 24 years old and consider myself healthy. I dont eat fried, salty, or sugary foods and excercise very regularly. Regardless I decided to get health insurance for just incase and after paying off my credit card debt a few months ago I built up an emergency fund of 2k.Beginning of May I became very very ill and have been in and out of the ER 6 times since, numerous urgent care visits, and many internal medicine and specialist doctor visits. I had to take a total of 23 sick days off work after working there for only 6 months at this new job. Ive just dealt with the last of my medical bills and will be left with about 500. I just spoke with my boss and after going over my sick time and calculating how much sickvacation time I will have by the end of this year I will have my paycheck this Saturday reduced to just under half and the rest of the time will be taken out from my vacation time over the rest of the year. After my cut in pay this week it will cover my credit card bills to pay them all off in full and still leave me with my 500 emergency fund to pay for food and gas over the next 2 weeks. Anyone else who is in my position who is a young healthy adult, this could happen to you too, please dont think you are invincible and invest in insurance and emergency funds. I would be fucked right now beyond belief if I didnt have insurance and an emergency fund. And for anyone curious what I was sick with... The doctors and myself still have no clue. They thought I had a collapsed lung, then pleurisy, then pneumonia, then bronchitis, then they thought it was viral and I had an auto immune disease. But all my tests came back normal and im slowly getting better.Assistant: Sounds like a case for Dr. House... probably Lupus.Human: Dude no joke, they tested me for lupus. They thought I had an auto immune disease so they tested my for lupus and HIV... I kept telling them it couldnt be lupus while I was taking my vicadon but i dont think my doctor got the reference cause she told me to not take so many pain meds...  <response>: Thats because you did it wrong. You are supossed to give the Dr the Vicadon while you lie about your Gfs cats drinking problem.
