Prairie Care Sucks (Maple Grove and Edina) is not affiliated with Prairie Care Hospital/ Clinic Services and is strictly a parent's opinion of care and billing practices based on our own unique experiences. Some of the sites listed for information research may reference that organization, but we are not endorsing them. They lawyered up. We didn't. We're just telling our story and hope you'll give it some consideration and think about a second opinion.

When you feel like you've been mugged.
Hang in there.
When you know what you were told.
When you laid out facts and were met with a stonewall.
When you tried.
When you know the truth.
When things are getting better despite them.
When you know.
When you know.
The Mr. Burns of the world can clutch their bills tight.
But you know.
And in the end, so does the guy up there.
It hurts, you feel violated, but in the end..you may be poorer in the pocket, but it's better than being more poor in the heart and mind.
