Manga in America by @caseybrienza.bsky.social if you're looking manga-wise at a flashback. This was published in 2016 but it took a long time to write (pre-2012 data)

On Wednesday, 4 Dec, I checked the morning NYT headlines, one guess what the top story was. Funny coincidence, innit?

Final Answer from Receptionist: Take him back to the ER.
Postgame Office Discussion: Why didn't they admit him? What's his insurance? United Medicare Advantage.
Me (thinking): Remember that it can always be worse. And also, remember that the insurance in question was UNITED.

We've been to the ER. They discharged him.
Answer: What? Why didn't they admit him? The internist in charge should've admitted him and contacted us. The hospital schedules inpatient and outpatient procedures differently--they could've admitted him and ordered a dilation ASAP.
