Cool Video!

I’ve always been a big fan of those domino effect machines. You know, the ones where if you touch one thing, something else happens, that leads to something big in the end? Well, this video by OK for the song “This Too Shall Pass” does just that. The entire video is one big ‘domino effect’ machine, that travels throughout the factory that the video is filmed in. I wasn’t even paying attention to the artists, because I was so intrigued with what the contraption would do next. The ending was a bit weak for my tastes, but I’ll let you be the judge of that.

Tell me what you think!

You Want Me to Pay How Much?

Hey Church Lake! Like many people, I absolutely LOATHE going to the doctor. I try to avoid going to hospitals as much as I can. I hate the smells, the sick feeling, and I’m positively squimish when it comes to needles. But the worst of all of those things is the COST. Many times, you end up over paying for equipment used to ensure your health, and you didn’t even know that you were using them! Many insurance companies automatically write a check without going over the hospital bill in detail, as long as the bill is less than $100 K.

I found a video on the internet outlining some items that patients got overcharged for. The charge that stood out the most to me was the $1000 toothbrush. Yep, you read right. $1000. I start to complain when a toothbrush is $5! Though outrageous, this isn’t the hardest to believe. Check it out!

Do you think that medical bills are just ridiculously high?
