This was the one episode where we truly understood Cuddy's and what she goes through
She's the GOAT.
Its super hard working there, economics dont care if you save lives, or pave roads, all the business see, is columns and margins. I wish i had a boss like that !
@@hsandev8972 Agreed, reality doesnt just barge like some epic heroic movie plot. It is purely cold for people struggling and yes they simply dont have cards or leverage to get better terms. For that I liked very much the lines from characters here. I'd rather business people negotiating on middle grounds in the first place than blindly giving out donations afterwards when the damage is already done(and they did it to avoid tax).
The great part of the ep is that she gets to be on both begging/warm side and the begged/cold side. So the point can be this is nobody's fault, or the finance/insurance system is just making us less human, just like media system is holding the power to tell the truth but they are never honest.
And she has to deal with House's nonsense to top it all off.
Hard job.
The board didn't just think she walked on water, she turned an entire Olympic pool to wine and freaking breakdanced on it.
When we watch House and think "jesus, how is she still in charge after this?" that is why
Lol that gave me a good laugh
Lol
Slick 😁😁😁😁
cringe
and here I thought she just hangs out in her office waiting for house to do something stupid.
dwll
Sometimes that's the case
well, that's not a lot of wait
That's why I love episodes like this that focus on "minor" characters. It's just funny to think of a show like Doctor Who where aliens are taking over London but instead we just see a frantic blonde lady in a too-big white overcoat pulling a delighted yet harried Pakistani-British woman behind her as we go about picking up the Times and some fruit on the way home.
I mean, that's 90% of her job.
I loved the fact that every once and again you'd see her walk by House's crew doing something that has better place in a circus, and then you realize "Oh... so that's what this logical, professional and intense department looks with the eyes of the "uninitiated"".
But we are initiated, aren’t we, House?
@@RaelgunXIII Members of the league of houses
Hadn’t thought about that
Not only that it also shows how much house cares for her, in his own weird way watches over her and how much they are part of her life
888th like. Just felt you should know that.
Cuddy was one of the best female characters in House and one of my favorites. I missed her after she was no longer on the show. And she was the one person who could handle House...until he drove his car into her home. She was pretty ballsy.
She wanted a 12% raise! In real life 12% don’t happen, 3-4% at best! CUDDY YOU ARE FIRED!
She wanted more money and she got eliminated
yeah the writers really jumped the shark after season 5
Cuddy was probably the Best Woman ever put to the Small Screen.
She was the Right kind of Woman in business. She was Assertive, but not bullish, and not *hypermasculine*
she's a jewess...
That yes from Cuddy is childish and from the heart.A true moment of happiness.
*childlike
"When I became an adult, I knew it was time to put away childish things...including the fear of childishness and the desire to be very grown up." - C.S. Lewis, author of the NARNIA series
Big Yes, sure but did she lose cred because the salesman was still there to hear it? A sign she had expected to lose? Why no offer of 10 or 11? Cuddy was right about the thumb especially because the guy would only have to pay $16000. The lawyer was an ambulance chaser
@@budbuddybuddest Because they already agreed. You can’t take it back because they’re happy with the result.
@@budbuddybuddest A jury might well have given the man whose thumb was saved nothing. His was a very unappealing cause of action. I would have taken Cuddy's offer and worked out a payment plan.
I know this is Cuddy's ep and she's obviously amazing, but I really appreciate that insurance guy, Eli's performance here. A charming antagonist, not too sinister.
I believe that guy is the actor who played Jonathan Turner in Boy meets World.
That's because he's not a villian, he's just a guy doing his job.
@@Folsomdsf2 he functions as an antagonist since he is the face of what cuddy is fighting
@@Folsomdsf2 yeah. thats how they get you to shoot people. its literally the same sentence. you do the bidding of the powerful...dont get surprised if people are pissed at you.
@@Folsomdsf2 antagonist and villain are commonly used as synonyms but are not necessarily synonyms. You can absolutely be an antagonist in a story and be a wonderful person, as for being a villain who is a wonderful person...well you get the point
I just realized in the CEO scene Cuddy took a page straight out of House’s book by finding out where he was having lunch and crashing it.
This was one of my favorite episode. It shows how much Dr. Cuddy cares for the hospital and how crazy her life is trying to run it. Especially since House always have crazy plans.
Not ''especially'', house is just one of her problems, in fact in this episode he was the less of her problems (if any at all).
Imagine if one day she was like "wow, things have been surprisingly calm these last four days" and then immediately walked into House shooting a gun at a corpse in the MRI.
"Right, all your doctors care about is healing. That's why there's all those BMWs and porche's in the parking lot."
"If only we could be as virtuous as lawyers, who are far too altruistic to dare serve their self-interest."
👏👏👌💯
To be fair, the dude had a point. This situation was not just about intentions but about the fact that the dude consented to something specific and his consent was ignored. The guy had a very good case and every right to sue. If costs of procedures could simply be fully shifted on the patient just because they sued, then there would be no incentive for legal retribution upon infringement of patient rights, and violating a patient's consent is a good way to lose your medical license irl. Who can trust Chase not to do something else a patient explicitly did not approve of just because he "felt it was best"?
The only thing in their favor is that because there wasn't any physical damage inflicted on the patient and they COULD argue for Chase's good intentions, the that would PROBABLY keep the judge and jury from invoking too high of a punishment on them, but a punishment there would be. Nonetheless, this is the type of case that would most likely be settled long before it reached court, and by the hospital's LEGAL department, not by the freaking Dean of Medicine.
Cuddy talking about the insurance company's private jet and the lawyer talking about BMWs and Porsches in the hospital parking lot which apparently belong to the doctors is intelligent script writing. It's as if to insinuate that The larger fish consumes the smaller one in a world of predator and prey.
Ahh yeah the law of the jungle, the best system to model your nations healthcare on
@@SOLOcan that's why we have more medical innovations then the next three combined.
@@garrettanderson1580 ……uhh no? Did you just make that up?
I guess if you count slightly changing a drug so you can re-patent it, enforce a monopoly and charge exorbitant prices
Also lol, insurance companies are not at the forefront of medical innovation
@@garrettanderson1580 Health Insurance in the US is so good that other western countries with public healthcare are trying to imitate it.
As if 🤣
An American healthcare worker at a clinic once told me the type of medicament i get here in Canada for "free" every 6 months, cost around $75k for American citizens. Land of the free lmao
@@garrettanderson1580 is this also why contries like croatia and greece have higher life expectancies than the U.S? But yeah sure keep defending the insurance companies who make billions out of the suffering of your own citizens.
Love Thirteen trying to restrain Chase in her silver heels that are barely gripped to the floor.
LMAO😂
Cuddy is the only character in the show that truly, truly earned my respect. She wakes up everyday to a crying girl, dreases up, goes to work, solves some 10 administrative problems in one hour and she still has to be insulted and yelled at by House while still trying to solve other issues. Then she goes back home and still has to take care of a child. What a woman.
The American health care system should be it's own horror genre
I was super confused why someone wouldn't want to have their thumb reattached, i had completely forgotten that American healthcare system is all about profit.
It doesn't have to be a horror genre, because "horror genre" assumes fiction.
@@CompagnonDeMisere25 theres no price ceiling for medical supplies in the usa. Plus there is a price floor mandated by the insurance companies and the government. As well as artificial price floors set by the owners of drugs and their rights to said drugs. Because of this hospitals literally cant even turn profit and are forced to do deals with insurance agencies.
@@CompagnonDeMisere25 he's like "yea I'd rather collect disability rather than sell my house rn I'ma keep it a stack"
Oh you Americans think you have a monopoly on everything. Single-payer with dominant-deliverer is its own brand of health"care" hell.
8:25 The fact that there are never jumpshots like this anywhere else in the series perfectly shows just how much emotion Cuddy felt in that singular moment.
true
One of the best episodes. It was so much fun observing House’s antics from Cuddy’s limited perspective and just imagining the episode that’s happening congruent to this one.
Dude Cuddy is the greatest, she’s just like “Nah homie I want 12” even after they offered double.
I think the CEO screwed up by offering her 8%. That showed Cuddy that her leverage did have some sway over them, and while it was risky to hold out for 12%, she took the gamble and won.
@@wusscake if they didn't offer anything, the contract would most likely be terminated with Cuddy getting fired lol
I don't think she had a choice. Like Malcolm X said, you don't offer relief to a man who's been stabbed with a 9 inch blade by pulling out 6 inches.
One of my favorite episodes! They should have done more from Cuddy's pov.
Then that would be called house/cuddy or cuddy/house
@@wiggy5209 ...or just rename the show, "Condominium?!"
Cuddy's prisoner of war?
@@kaiz1845 Lmao, fixed it.
It’s stressful af tho
I love Cuddy's character. She somehow manages to avoid every possible stereotype and yet be absolutely her own mold.
I love how that insurance guy is so brutally realistic but he's obviously rooting for Cuddy anyway. The most cynical people secretly want to be proven wrong, it's just that the world disappoints them most of the time.
Right? I swear he was happy for Cuddy and the hospital in the end)
Cuddy is definitely Cobra Kai material
0:27 - Strike First
3:27 - Strike Hard
7:27 - No Mercy
Left 4 Dead?
Cuddy, The perfect balance between Beauty, Brains and Heart. She's tier 1 material.
Chad Dean of Medicine vs Virgin Insurance Bastards
6:32 "Do you have any idea how much it costs? How many years it takes to train a doctor in microsurgery?"
I don't know, Chase seemed to pick it up pretty fast
Obviously, what Cuddy _meant_ to say was, "Do you know how many years it takes to train someone in microsurgery...if they're *not* Chase?" 😁
Wait, hadn't he already specialized in that during his first stint in House's team?
@@Aivottaja No, initially Chase was an intensivist, i.e. his expertise was in intensive and critical care. That's why he was so often the one doing the "hands-on" procedures (including some surgeries) and handling the emergency cases.
@@wobby1268 isn’t microsurgery training a part of that.
“Do you have any idea how much money I don’t have? Or what consent is?”
I’m 100% for the poor guy, he just wanted his thumb sealed, knew he couldn’t pay for reattachment. Then Chase went “Nah I don’t care” and did the expensive surgery anyway and they STILL threw the bill at the patient. Jfc. I’d sue too.
Cuddly screaming Yes at the top of her lungs was the best thing ever
You missed the part of the pharmacist stealing drugs for a meth lab. That was awesome.
and the bit with the board giving her no support and promising to dump her if it didn't go through
Pharm tech*
Cuddy is one hell of a formidable negotiator . . and this is Exactly how medical insurance companies bottom line operate. .
She has to be to deal with house
Love how this episode debunks the year/season long 'myth' that existed during the running of the show that Cuddys only job was House. He literally is a tiny portion of her day.Insane portion but still tiny and her day is HECTIC.Never fails to give me anxiety during a rewatch.
More importantly, in my opinion, he's an enjoyable part of her day. No really, compared to those lawyers, the ex-patient who couldn't pay her or that CEO, dealing with House's antics seems like a welcome distraction. It really puts their whole relationship into perspective if we see House as actually being the least stressful part of her day, it's no wonder she was always willing to cut him some slack even if we disregard any potential romantic feelings.
Season 6 was so experimental, this was one of the best ones, also I wish foreman just updating us on this "week case" should have been a recurring gag on later episodes.
Cuddy can be such a bully to the right people lol
The only person that can compete with a cutthroat business mogul with no heart is a cutthroat business woman with a big one.
She ended up in the position for a reason :)
I love how the reference house’s quote about people just getting what they get and it’s not about what they deserve 👌🏼after 5:31
Cuddy was one heck of a boss.
Hypocrite !
This episode shows us how vital the House's department is for that small hospital. It's no wonder he can do anything he wants.
he is the heart
She could have had her own spin off all house fans would love it
Not the Ham shippers; they hated Cuddy like fire.
@@wobby1268 hameron shippers were delusional
@@wobby1268 and hilsons stans.for no apparent reason. I never understood why they gotta hate on a character bcs their ship didnt happen. Or be 'anti-'. Stupid childish stuff.
I admit Lisa Cuddy would have made a good series, but the problem I see with it, Cuddy is too serious. After that stunt House pulled that involved him driving his car through her dining room, there is a 0% chance she would have tried dealing with another House. A day in the life of the Dean of Medicine was probably a lot like a day in the life of Alison Cameron in an ER somewhere in Chicago. Mundane, boring, and not all that entertaining.
@@peachydarl They absolutely were. And many of them *still* are. 😉
An attorney for a patient would never speak directly with the dean of medicine, or rather, the dean of medicine would never allow herself to speak with the attorney
Her smile is radiant.
SPOILER ALERT . . .
I absolutely love this episode! Perfectly played, I felt the increasingly awful pressure Cuddy was under every step of the way. Then when she won, I had tears of joy and relief. Fantastic that she cheered at the win so openly, shared by all! And then tearing up the check of Mr. Acevedo, the icing on the cake, a win for all!
Thanks and blessings to all who made this episode possible for us to see! 🙏👏👍👍💖
yo dude! Finally! I was waiting for one of these from this exact episode! She is a badass and deserves every credit she gets
Such a great episode. You can really _feel_ the stress and anxiety that she is feeling during the episode (kudos to the actress), and it is easy to let out a cheer with her at the end.
A truly wonderful episode. Good to see Cuddy get the spotlight
I loved this episode. Made me cry.
Cuddy was a great doctor. Not so great disciplinarian. But she's SO much more than we see. She's the mama bear watching over a top notch bastion of modern medicine. She's a brilliant, passionate, emotionally stable genius in the trenches AND the boardroom every day.
I miss this show SO much. Great video. All the best moments in 10 minutes. Thank You.
It’s on peacock for free all seasons
@@jayhollowayii2 Holy moly. I had no idea. Thanks!
@@Rippypoo your welcome mate thats where they get the clips from peacock
2:57 Chase, you definitely harmed one of the most vital organs in the human body with that one, the bank account.
R.I.P, last time I talked about the character it was me discussing how thematically she was with House only to prove that when the pressure was put on her relationship with him she was bound to give in but this episode also prove the opposite. Great episode and kind of angry that I forgot about it.
"Yeah right, all you doctors care about is healing. That's why there all those BMWs and Porsches in the parking lot"
coming from a lawyer
Loved the way House Popping around from time to time in this Episode for those who watched the Series
This show direly needed a few more episodes like this to flesh out Cuddy!
What a fucking boss, I loved her character so much. I love seeing powerful women in series, like cuddy in House or Jessica in Suits
Jessica could be ruthless and selfish. Cuddy was always gracious, classy, and ethical.
@@justincase7848Jessica was working amongst the ruthless and selfish. Everybody in that firm had to be to play that game.
@@2EKgn16definitely true.
Nice to see Jonathan Turner doing something other than school teaching after that motorcycle accident
Oh my gosh, YES!! Thank you, I couldn’t figure out why he looked so familiar.
This episode was so great. It showed everything that Cuddy had to go through while dealing with House’s and Lucas’ insanity. I also loved the opening song, “Break Up the Concrete.”
Except there was little to no ''house insanity'' in this episode, and what's so ''insande'' that Lucas did at all?
Stand for what you believe in even if you stand alone.
That is why House is calling Cuddy
"Sunshine"
That lawyer was a complete ambulance chaser
I love this episode, it shows all the BS that Cuddy goes through as The DOM, besides the ones that walk with a limp.
If there are Lisa Cuddys out there in this world, they're superstars. Plus, this Cuddy has to deal with House.
8:20 onwards... It went from me watching house to me watching scrubs without changing video... I'm impressed and now I'm sad because scrubs isn't a thing.
Fine example of a strong female character done right!!!!
Love Lisa Edelstein❤
lisa a strong independent black woman who dont need no House
I've been watching these episode recaps for the past couple weeks now. I've yet to see a full episode of the show. That being said, this was significantly more interesting and enjoyable than I suspected it to be.
Dude, same. God bless the admin, wherever they are.
8:27 I wonder how many takes it take, just for Cuddy to say "Yess!!!" in this scene.😁
when Cuddy rent that check was absolute gold
Heck... I miss her and entire team. Man, I love the whole series of Dr House
Cuddy is like the ultimate.. quintessential cougar superbabe😍😍😍 and obviously a superb actress! Love her character and the zinging chem between her and House.. main attraction of a standout cast and writing team! House ruled/ rules and Lisa Edelstein is the shining co-star of the show IMHO..
When Cuddy goes all protective House on people
Cuddy channels House's energy for good 🤣
Is nobody going to mention she looks drop dead gorgeous?
A good example of why we need universal healthcare.
One of the single best episodes in one of the single best series.
its the "cheaper option " for me😂👌truly shows how doctors are everywhere and they still complain for not getting paid enough
i LOVE this episode
this stressful side of cuddy's daily life, it was really well done
we know usually it isnt this extreme but compared to House stresses this was on par
Id give anything for a Woman like Lisa Cuddy. Smart, driven, ambitious, great personality, and my gosh can she rock a blouse and skirt.
That yes, was so wholesome.
Meanwhile in the rest of the civilized world:
"We reattached your thumb."
"Thank you!"
"Yeah. Thank goodness this isn't America. That would have cost like 16,000."
One of the few things I somewhat like about my country.
At 8:33 I thought it cut to Carla from Scrubs. Also, I feel really sorry for the the guy that didn’t want his thumb. He shouldn’t have to pay for something he expressly said he couldn’t afford. I’m so glad I live in England with free health care.
Free limited healthcare
@@doctorfate6414 Oh it's limited here, too. Some people just never even have a chance to get in the line, so it seems like there's more to go around for those who don't have to think about that.
@@TiaKatt We are given instant admission for emergencies and are given operations for fatal or deathly conditions. Payment can be arranged or dealt by insurance. We have people in England who migrate from there to here for that factor alone. Not to mention that we have a more vast amount of operations including services of medication and medical then England goes.
@@doctorfate6414 don’t forget the much, much, much more advanced technological advancements the US sees because it allows its corporations to more or less do what they want with their own money. Granted, plenty of corruption and corporate bullshit still occurs, but that’s in part because of the corruption, which all nations have. Ours just isn’t nearly as phased by it.
If/when the cure for cancer is created/discovered, it’ll probably be in the United States of America.
@@doctorfate6414 do you think England doesn't have instant admission for emergencies, that they put you on a waiting line while you bleed out?
Or that they don't treat deadly conditions?
What are you trying to say?
Hilarious how House bribed the superintendent to crank up the AC just to make the attending surgeon hurry up.
I'm sad that Cuddy didn't got to the end of series. She's amazing character
3:13 A gentleman stands up when a lady joins them. What cads!
Wow, what a clip...Probably one of the best you've uploaded thus far!
Rich hearing the lawyer talk about BMWs
The way she ripped up that check said everything there was to say about her character
Badass move
This was Cuddy's "stay out of my territory" moment
Eric Bibb's "Shine On" is perfect for this ❤
She campaigns for the patients, takes the heat for Dr Chase's actions and deals with that lunatic House. Good bosses and administrators are rare. If you've got one, count yourself blessed.
Such a great episode and a solid performance from Lisa Edelstein.
But I feel like one of the darker and more subconscious meanings behind the episode, like a few other House episodes, is the fucked up financial and insurance systems of the American healthcare.
She is my fav of the show ♥
love how at 8:51, everyone is so hyped except the 2nd to last row...w/ house and his team
and his lips curl into an appreciative smile. High praise, indeed!
In a parallel universe , Hugh and Lisa first got into medicine but both gave up for acting after House they continued their studies and graduated with their grades being among the top grades of graduates throughout their college's/university's history.They are married and of course they work everyday as doctors and they actually have better prices compared to most famous doctors because they care about their craft and their clients , you , me and everyone.
What a magical episode, untainted by all the shenanigans promulgated by house :-)
“Cuddly” ❤ this episode shows her perspective
i love how this ep shows why Cuddy is the boss
Most people dont' understand what People in Cuddy's position do and what they have to go through
and the pressures of keeping their job.... and the things that have to make happen to keep things running!
If you are on the lawyer's side, remember, they get paid to get cases to court. They will use language around their client to convince the client to proceed.
1:45 don’t tell a woman she’s being emotional
Looks like Mr. Turner from “Boy Meets World” took some night classes and became a lawyer. Lol…
Don't do Mr. Turner like that lol
As a European watching this, this is FUCKING TERRRIFYING! People are hiring lawyers and making stressful life-changing decisions they have no experience in - because they have to pay to not fucking die!?
The American system is terrible.
The British NHS is worse (I speak from experience).
The Continent has a whole host of great healthcare systems that lie in between those extremes. Personally, I prefer the Swiss system. Though I'll happily accept arguments for the German and Portugese systems.
@@chrisbingley The British NHS is IN NO WAY WORSE than the American system. Speaking as someone with a dual citizenship, having moved to the US when I was 26, you simple do not know anything of what you're talking about.
@@strangerinastrangeland3613 At least in the USA they would treat me. Sure, it would cost an arm and a leg, but at least I would get something.
Here I can't even get physiotherapy.
@@chrisbingley Mom's doing physio right now after a crash, still living in Edenborough. You're either on one or just trying to troll.
Welcome to the wonderful world of American Healthcare. This is what happens when a government mistakes health care for a luxury and not the right of every citizen. I spent my career in Healthcare finance and the reality of it is nauseating.
Intelligence is by far the most attractive thing a woman can have.
That is the game played at the highest level and even though this is a fictional series, you can tell just how intense those negotiations are. The weight on those shoulders are heavy. House and his antics are really the least of her worries. Lol
When the guy was talking about loosing the thumb was better because Bill's I was hoping for cudy to walk him to the parking lot to show him lots of the dr still drive old cars .
Dr. Lisa Cuddy has gotta be the dream of every women 👩 in this world. A career woman 👩⚕️, a boss, a mom 👧, everything 😊
Funny how this is my favorite episode of the entire series.
commander hicks went from swat teams to insurance companies such a nice promotion lol
vice versa
Seeing a country as rich and as advanced as the US arguing about throwing a thump or not because of money is just weird, like really weird and the fact that many americans don't see the problem in that is even weirder.
i come from a country with free healthcare for anyone making under 50k$~, while its abit insane they are worried about costs you have to realize that alot of that money doesnt just go to the hospital or doctor, they have alot of other expenses. hopefully one day america will have freehealth care instead of buying more tanks, but their clearly isnt enough of a push for it since they are so used to it.
@@bigboi5134 The Competitive Healthcare system in the US leads to a much larger amount of innovations (proportionally) other countries, while also allowing Private Citizens to get the Care they Want & Need without having to worry about getting put on a years long waiting list (Except for Donor Organs, but we've also been working on that)
Yes, it sucks that some people can't afford their medical care, but it's not this 'predatory racket' that other countries make it out to be. Hospitals have to Purchase Medical Supplies, Pay property taxes (as well as many other forms of Taxation, Pay their Staff, and Pay for Doctors, who in turn have to pay for the Specialized Education they receive (Unless they got a Full Ride Scholarship, which is only awarded for Excellence)
Now, you might say "Why Doesn't the Government just foot the bill?" Well, quite simply, because it would be unfair *and* Unconstitutional (Thank God). The Majority of Americans do not require frequent visits to a Medical Doctor, but would be required to pay Massively increased taxes to do so. To Support a Fully Socialized healthcare system, Americans would be looking at a 10-20% Tax increase Across the Board (That's for all Americans) While The Government would impose 'Quotas' for the amount of a certain procedure can be performed per year/Quarter, and Doctors/Hospital Staff would be looking at Pay Cuts, because the only people who get paid well on Government Paychecks are bureaucrats.
(My Evidence for this being the UK/EU Healthcare systems) Yes, you can get basic care, such as PCP (Primary Care Physician) and Basic Pharma, you're looking at Waiting lists for most procedures more specialized than setting a bone. Not to mention the vastly different *Scales* of these Healthcare systems.
You might also go with the "Build Less Tanks, America" Sadly, that's not how it works Either. NATO Members are supposed to supply 2% of their Annual GDP to the Defense Fund, the overwhelming majority of Members pay less than 1.5%. "Why do we Need NATO?" Look at Ukraine and Taiwan. Look at China, who is threatening all of her neighbors, *and* the US, or Russia, who threatened nuclear action on Europe if they sent Forces to aid Ukraine. NATO is the only thing that has kept another World War from being Sparked, and America contributes almost 4% of their Yearly GDP, just to make up for the deficit of the Non-Compliant nations.
So, in conclusion, American citizens could not afford to pay for Socialized healthcare, as it would only be paid for by raising taxes, and making Americans Poorer, while doing nothing to deal with the base problem.
Free healthcare has it's issues as well, like insanely high taxes. And even free healthcare sometimes isn't free. Like in Germany for example, you often have to buy certain medicine for your own money, but then why the f can't I pay for it with my insurance card , that has like 10k on it?
@@raimondsstokmanis1892 I live in germany and can confirm, almost half my salary is paid to taxes, but all serious conditions are covered by the insurance
@@mindyourbusiness4440 I live in Germany as well. My point still stands. Why should I buy medicine for my own money, when I have like 10 k or so on my card?
