dunno what horse you’re on but not all of us think like this.

lol I just looked up tavern on state bc a bunch of people recommended it…. That was the most pretentious menu I have ever seen. And I’ve watched top chef since S1. Did they just throw a cat at the keyboard?

I came from Boston, but moved here when I was 30. I wasn’t trying to party or be hip, but I love eating good food and having a good drink which there are many options. I love walkability, and I like small local businesses. With that, I like New Haven. And judging by the crowds downtown on the weekends, so do many others in the area.

You can’t compare it to Boston really, because “Boston” is also Somerville, Southie, Dorchester, etc. I’d say overall New Haven is more like Cambridge. Or maybe more like Providence.

If you’ve visited any area besides the direct blocks around Yale, and you felt like it was your vibe, then you’ll prob like it.

I just moved out of Fairhaven Heights and it's not bad. I lived near the water though and a lot of houses there are renovated or new construction so it's nicer. I never felt unsafe walking my dog after work at 12am around the grand bridge area. I'm a 28m for reference.

Just make sure your building doesn't flood regulary, I moved out because my buildings basement was moldy af and I could smell it regularly on the top floor if it was bad.

I have normally set up a payment plan through MyChart (it’s 0% interest). Then sometimes they’ll eventually offer 10/15% off if you pay the rest of your balance in full for hospital and physician services respectively.

I had never considered it seriously until I had a coworker who lived there for several years and was very happy. Fair haven along the water is totally nice and livable.

Came here to say Lake Waramaug as well. Beautiful part of the state.

Ugh. Don’t like that place at all.

Thank you.

There wasn't much paying attention to intros going on. I had an energetic/injured toddler and the ER was packed with sick kids.

They were all kind FWIW.

The resident would also be a doctor and introduce herself as such

I see the MWND around. They jacked the price up this year though. Used to be about 90.

They might offer something called “Prompt Pay” in which they’ll take 10% off if you pay on the spot. Or you can ask if they accept a payment plan.

I work from home and keep ours between 60-63 all winter. Exception was those sub-zero 2 days in Feb when I jacked it up to 68. If/when kids/spouse complain I remind them of their warm slippers and sweaters.

They had me go through every level.

Triage, student, resident, physician (I am assuming the last person was the physician but they ask introduce themselves as Dr so I don't really know)

Did you actually see a physician? Yale very frequently has you see a midlevel with far less training/education and then has the physician sign the chart later without ever seeing you. If that happens, you can claim fraud, billed services not rendered, etc.

This is probably more common in the adult ER than the pediatric ER however.

Interesting. Thanks for sharing!

I lived in High Street above Rumbamba and it was pretty bad on weekends in the spring for sure. It did make for good people watching however.

Hit or miss but craigslist is actually decent in this area. How i found my current apartment

It's in line with the percentage I expect my insurance to pay.

But the total bill ($3200 pre insurance) is not in line with what I expect for a visit that has no imaging, injections, specialists etc.

Just examination, and then gauze applied with medical tape and ointment.

Is that in line with what you’d expect your insurance to have covered?

You can set up a payment plan but also I’m sure if you say you can’t afford it they’ll reduce it

Hah good question.

It was the pediatric ER. For a burn, so they saw us right away. Turned out to be laughably minor.

I just want to know how you got in & out of YNHH ER in a under an hour
