That strikes me as high, like very very high. I haven't had a GP visit in forever but my last was 150 charged to my insurance. Throw in around 50 for the culture they're gonna run and you're looking around 200. The treatment for this is mostly cheap antibiotics, so throw in 20 there.
Now mostly I'm running this up so Darth knows that his estimate is likely off by like a factor of 4. That said, I know when money is tight the difference between a grand and 250 can be like the difference between jumping to the moon or mars, but I figured the info might help.
Of course, this is still America so we have all kinds of regional pricing differences so my numbers might not be that helpful. I remember something about a section of Texas having all the hospitals owned by the same company and somehow they had the highest medicare costs in the country with all that efficiency helping out.

The amount they charge you with insurance is different than the amount they would charge an individual without, because the insurance company has negotiated rates.
That's why it's good to have insurance even if you have a really high deductible.
Can they not just.... like make a Word doc or something?
I DON'T KNOW. THERE ARE A LOT OF WAY THIS COULD HAVE BEEN MADE.
They aren't even categorized well. There is a board that is High school apps. Then one that is High School Science, but some of the science apps on general one aren't in the science one!
I am definitely pointing this out during my presentation.
Like jesus just make an excel document with a list!
They probably did it because it's super easy to pin things from already open pages and have multiple people able to curate. I pin all kinds of school things because it's much simpler to keep organized than my bookmarks folders. However, were I sharing it with the school, you'd bet I'd create an annotated bib-style doc with links. Or hell, a page on the website with a curated list? There are a lot of better/more professional ways to create a school-wide resource however convenient Pinterest is for personal use.
I just applied to another gig. With a direct competitor.
But instead of just attaching my letter and resume....I accidentally attached a 5 page report with recommendations on what we should be doing with Twitch.
TO A DIRECT FUCKING COMPETITOR.
.....this.
This is not good.

...now to go see if I insulted said competitor in said doc.

Maybe you could apply to be their corporate spy?
Legitimately there isn't much else you can do other than call them up and apologise and ask very politely if they can delete it. They may not but at least you are starting up communication with them.
Ok, upon rereading said plan...the plan is fucking awesome...and I don't insult anyone. So, uh...here's to hoping.

I think I got my presentation up to where I want it to be. Just got to make up some slides with links when I get home.
Basically I'll remind everyone about the state multiple literacy standards, which are all stuff librarians already do like teach citations and research methods.
Then I'll reference the American Association of School Library version of those standards which are a little more in depth.
After that I will go into showing various tools I've found for the rest of my time, then close with questions.
Just watched a dude leave the men's room without washing his hands. Luckily, another person came in right as I was teaching for the door handle with a fist full of towels, so I just had to angle my foot against the door.
There's just something decidedly wrong about that whole leaving-your-dick-germs-anywhere thing ....

I'm aware. In all cases numbers were "Provider Charged" numbers which is before the discount for the insurers formulary rates. That typically cut costs in half.
Though doing that made me realize my insurer pays my surgeon FIVE DOLLARS after I pay my copay for the check up visits after surgery. This plan year with our increased specialist copay I should be getting a refund from them.
Whether you wash your hands or not makes no difference when the bathroom has an actual handle or doorknob, because all it takes is one person to not wash their hands and your handwashing just became useless.
I do wash my hands but seriously let me open the door with my foot from the inside so I don't have to touch that handle.
No joke, I'm looking at a 32 ounce bottle of hand sanitizer on my desk right now and trying to figure out how to weaponize that fucker.
Just full-bore MacGuyver up in here.
M-50 strapped to it. Just lob it into his office and run.
Purell has alcohol in it.
It is flammable.
I want to say that violently blasting it into a fine mist and then setting fire to it may be a bad idea, but we cannot know for sure without testing that hypothesis beforehand.
So yes, turn your container of Purell into an IED and throw it at a co-worker please @Darth Waiter.

Bathroom door handles should just be filled with sanitizer that's released whenever the handle is turned, like a defense mechanism.

Uh... uh.......
Everybody gets one freebie?

I would be extremely hesitant to eat at a place called Prune.
Oh, you got my notes!

Didn't wash your hands, whatever
You just got sanitized!
I have a clipboard! That makes it science, right?
I think there needs to be a labcoat as well.
And glasses.
Now please proceed weaponizing a bottle of Purell.
