so i got off work tonight and decided to go grab some WaHo. well our waitress was a rather cute young lady which kinda caught me off guard for her to be working there.
well as she is taking our order she seems to be in some kind of pain or something, but i dont really say anything for a few. when she came back again i asked her what was wrong and she looked at me and kinda shook her head as if saying nothing, but i knew she was lying. well after we ate i decided to persue the question once again and this time got it out of her. she is pregnant and having contractions. well i sat there thinking wow, and shes still working...what a trooper. i looked at her somemore and realized that she wasnt showing signs of pregnancy at all and i got a bit worried for her. i asked her how far along she was and i got the worst reponse she could have given me....5 months. i was then in shock. the emt in me took over and started asking more questions and i got the worst responses...
have you seen a doctor? no. why not? medicade has not come back yet. have you had a uninary tract infection? yes. why are you not seeing a doctor quicker? i dont have enough money.
instantly i felt remorse for this girl. i payed my bill tipped her a 50 and told her good luck, save money, and go see a doctor.
i have never seen this before in my life and it scared the shit out of me. i also feel like an ass for having health insurance and her not having any. i feel ever more for her child, and hope that he/she has an excellent life.

you're a good man matt...
So many things wrong with this, it shouldn't take 5 months for medicaid to kick in though I assume? I hope she is not going through the pregnancy alone.

man thats good for the $50 tip, but having a premature baby sucks ass and is really sad that she didn't go to the hospital due to medicade.

she can still go see a doctor at a hospital... they will just bill her and more than likely medicade will pick up the charges considering she is just awaiting it to kick in. even a pharmacy would bill her for FREE even if it hasn't kicked in yet, b/c they will get their money from medicade
it just amazes me in this country people will refuse to seek medical care over $$$. :rolleyes: either way nice gesture matt.

You know alot of the families of reservists fighting over in Iraq will not have insurance 90 days after they come back to america. So this means as soon as some one that risked their lives for our country that does not support gernalized health care comes back has to immediately start looking for a job or have a hastle of trying to go back to thier old job. Once my terms up im moving to canada.

Very sad. And whats even worse is she doesnt seem to not worry about her having the contractions at 5 months. Insurance or nor, Id think she would atleast go to the ounty hospital ya know?
Great thing you did Matt :)

sucks for the baby...just another person having a baby who wasn't ready to have a baby
or maybe she's not even pregnant but rather a good "actress" just making her money...

:blah: :blah: :blah: :rolleyes:
don't take it personally, just not the greatest idea in the world
i hope it turns out alright, what you did is what i would have done, that all you can do though, +rep
You must spread some Reputation around before giving it to DJ XtRaK again.
If what she said was true then that is truly a sad thing for her and her child but an amazing display of generosity on your behalf.
However, there is a chance that she could have been working a tip. I've heard stories from waitresses about other waitresses creating enormous sob stories and making bank!
In no way am I crapping on your parade. Just my 2/100 of a dollar.

thanks to everyone for the props. im praying that she was not just acting because if she was it will come back to her. but from how well she answered the questions and how uneasy she was the entire time we were there, something just seemed out of place and i knew it. but i will find out next weekend when i go to waho again after work...who knows

I don't think she played you man.
Please matt, stop saying "waho"
falls into the catagory of words that should never be shortened.
kinda like when people say "rents" in terms of "parents"
they all sound gay.

Really nice of you to leave her that tip.
I bet it meant alot to her, to even have someone care to ask if she was ok. :)
