DR comes in. Says I hear you have... does some shit, then starts with the scripts, or tests they want, and I have to walk down the hall to get them. Once done, I come back, DR already looks at whatever (xray, blood test, etc.), then comes in and tells me what they think it is.
Hand me scripts and a bill, and send me on my way.

I was having some chest soreness awhile back. I had been to the ER and they gave me a clean bill of health. But I scheduled an appointment with my doctor to get a real diagnosis. The nurses spent about 15 minutes taking blood pressure and all the other stuff. Doctor came in for literally a minute, listened to my heart for a second and wrote me a prescription for an acid reducer. My insurance company got billed like $150. |
