Ellen Baker loves rescuing cats, but she will forever have a special place in her heart for Bella, who died recently after a night at a pet hospital.Her beloved tabby cat had died despite 24 hours of tests, lab work and antibiotics."Losing her I felt like my heart had been ripped out of my chest," Baker said.Billed thousands for treatmentThat was just the first blow. The second was the bill.Baker said she was confronted with a hefty bill the moment she and a very sick Bella arrived at the vet."I was told, 'You have to pay ,204 up front to cover anything and everything that might need to be done,'" she said.Baker, distraught, handed over her credit card. Refusing to pay would have felt like sentencing Bella to death.The next day, Bella was still sick and the hospital needed another ,000 to continue treatment."The bill in the end was actually ,346," Baker said.Why such high prices?Outrageous? Not according to the hospital's medical director.Jessica Brotherton explained to us they have millions of dollars worth of high-tech equipment, from CT scanners to chemo rooms for cancer, and surgeons who perform life-saving surgery unheard of 10 years ago.As for charging up front, she says the hospital was forced to do that after dozens of people brought their pets in for expensive care, left, and never paid the bill.Hospital founder Dr. Doug Hoffman told us "there are certain treatments costs associated with that certain level of care given them, and there is a price associated with that.""Much of the equipment we have is the same you would have in a human hospital," he said.According to Consumer Reports Magazine, the hospital's fees are not unusual. The magazine also says veterinary costs have almost doubled since 2004. An overnight stay for testing typically costs over ,000, a torn ligament repair can cost ,000 and cancer treatment for a dog or cat will cost ,000 at the very least.So how can owners make sure that when their pet eventually gets sick, they're not hit with a surprise ,000 bill?Dr. Wendy Vogel urges her customers to purchase pet insurance ranging from 0 to 0 a year."I wish everyone with a pet had insurance on their pet," Vogel said.Although the cost may seem steep, she says it prevents sticker-shock for major care."They pay 90 percent of it in many cases," Vogel said. "So, if your bill is ,000, you pay only 0 out of pocket, and that allows people to do the things they want to do but could not do without the insurance."The tech site 2516

Defense Secretary Mark Esper explicitly says he's seen no hard evidence that four American embassies had been under possible threat when President Donald Trump authorized the targeting of Iran’s top commander. Esper's comments in Sunday television interviews raises questions about the scale of the threat described by Trump last week. As the administration struggled with its justification for the drone strike that killed Gen. Qassem Soleimani, Esper and members of Trump's national security team are trying to refocus attention on voices of dissent inside Iran. 577

Doctors and patients should beware if they're hoping to use steroid injections to relieve the pain associated with osteoarthritis.The shots may be doing more harm than good.In a new study published in the journal 225

Everything you do during the day comes with making decisions. With quarantines lifting, you're now faced with a whole new set of decisions on what is safe to do.Experts say that's made more overwhelming because we still don't know everything about COVID-19 and you may be getting mixed messages from leadership.“So, you might have a governor saying one thing. You might have a mayor wanting something different happening in the local community,” said Dr. Lynn Bufka, Senior Director for Practice, Research and Policy at APA. “So, it becomes very difficult for the average person who's not an expert in these matters to figure out how to make decisions.”Bufka says this kind of cognitive overload or "decision fatigue" can make the simplest choices seem more exhausting, like what to wear or what to have for dinner.Bufka suggests two ways to take the pressure off. First, accept that it's not easy right now so it's okay to be imperfect. And second, set up a new routine. Even just rotating the same few outfits can help cut down on the decisions you have to make.“We don't really think about how much thinking and how much mental effort goes into what we do in the day,” said Bufka. “Every time we make a decision, that's a little bit of mental effort.”Bufka says our normal routines before, during and after quarantine will all look different. So, you may not be able to just go back to what you did before the outbreak to cut stress. 1448

CINCINNATI — When Irina Chamberlain went online to pay her student loans, she was surprised to learn that she's dead.Chamberlain — who moves, talks and isn't decomposing — said she was declared dead by the Social Security Administration in early December. Since then, she's had trouble accessing her bank accounts and making payments. "With my busy life, I'm always running, doing something," she said. "I actually thought, 'Maybe I actually died and did not realize that.' I reached for my dog and I was like, 'Can I touch them? Am I still alive, or what's going on?'"The mistake led Chamberlain to call the Social Security office, which she said had her on hold for an hour. "She said, 'Well, what's more important — to lose money or prove that you're alive?' I said both are important, but who pays me for losing a day of work," Chamberlain said.Since Chamberlain was declared dead, she hasn't been able to make deposits or withdrawls, or pay any bills. The process of being declared alive is also taking a lot of her time."I don't have time to prove that I'm alive," she said. "Somebody's mistake should exist like that, you can't [make a] mistake like that, claim somebody dead and don't even check maybe this person is alive."It could take months to get sorted out, according to Deborah Wagner, a senior attorney with Legal Aid."A lot of times it happens if your spouse dies and you have a joint bank account," Wagner said. "They report it, and for some reason the names get confused and it gets reported on both Social Security numbers."Chamberlain said the only death in her family was her father-in-law back in October."He's a male, completely different life and Social Security number, but same last name," Chamberlain said. "But everybody else in my family is alive, except me."Chamberlain is one of thousands of people this happens to each year. About 2.8 million deaths are reported to the Social Security Administration each year. A spokesperson said less than a third of a percent are corrected.In a statement, the Social Security Administration said it "recognizes erroneous death cases are very sensitive because of financial hardship and distress," and that it works to correct cases like this immediately.Wagner said Legal Aid gets about two of these cases a year."You have nothing," she said. "They've frozen your bank accounts, you can't use credit cards."It used to happen even more often, according to Mike Walters. He used to work as a claims representative with Social Security, and is now Pro Seniors."It used to be that Social Security would take phone calls and take somebody's benefits based on a phone call from a family member who said, 'My mother passed away,'" Walters said.Now, there are more checks and balances in place to avoid something like Chamberlain's situation."There were serious problems with resurrecting somebody on the computer system if they got terminated," Walters said.But why does something like this happen in the first place? Walters said the error could have had to do with the fact that Medicare used to have Social Security numbers on Medicare cards. "The Medicare number would be that spouse's Social Security number followed by a letter," he said. "Hospitals would report death in a patient, and maybe left off that letter at the end of the claim number."There are a lot of reasons why it could've happened. According to the Social Security Administration, deaths are reported to them from states, family members, funeral homes and financial institutions. 3527
