    When I was 19 I had thought I had appendicitis. I went to the emergency room. Once there I waited 3 hours to see a doctor while in pain. They see me, do a MRI scan, find nothing but want me to stay overnight to ensure nothing happens. The pain subsided and I left the following day.

    It turned out I wasn’t on my Dad’s insurance anymore and I was billed. At 19, 1.5 years out of the house. I had 15k in debt.
