Now that we have the attention of at least half of you, let’s get started on the listicle.  Sponges Even with inflation, sponges are one of the world’s great bargains.

If you have an actual reason  to need a colonoscopy other than you haven't had one for 10 years or just turned 45, far be it from us to stand in your way. Time to talk about the dreaded colonoscopy . The first good news is that, as you can tell from all the store window displays and promotions, March is colorectal cancer awareness month.

It has brief instructions on it. This is the longer version of the instructions. Background Congress passed a law in 1986 called the Emergency Medical Treatment and Active Labor Act , or EMTALA as it is known.  It was a response to the common practice of ERs telling you to go elsewhere if they didn’t like your insurance or lack thereof. Many hospitals have used that law as an excuse to raise prices for emergency care,...]]></description><link>https://www.quizzify.com/post/how-to-use-your-er-consent</link><guid isPermaLink="false">69b184fe1747b901bc1641f2</guid><category><![CDATA[ER Prevent Consent]]></category><pubDate>Fri, 13 Mar 2026 15:32:46 GMT</pubDate><enclosure url="https://static.wixstatic.com/media/b6c432_7aafc71edbe14566b718b51b6ecbc9c8~mv2.png/v1/fit/w_696,h_388,al_c,q_80/file.png" length="0" type="image/png"/><dc:creator>Al Lewis</dc:creator></item><item><title><![CDATA[A Collection of ER Sticker Shock Prevent Consents]]></title><description><![CDATA[A few of our many users of the Prevent Consent have forwarded them to us.
