rant

Grrrr!
This is a random rant about how shitty the American health system is.

I woke up this morning feeling much worse than I have been the last few days. I finally gave in to go to the doctor. I called my primary doctor listen on my insurance card. I was told I could come in...on September 2nd. I'm pretty sure I still won't be sick by then, and if I am, well I'll probably be dead. Apparently you have to preplan getting sick in order to get a damn appointment. Isn't that special? Remind me to get sick on schedule next time.

So, I was told to go to the ER. Ok, fine. No big deal, right? WRONG. 2 hours in the waiting room, then another 2 hours sitting on a bed in the hallway. By this point, my son and man are both being cranky and anting to avoid being arrested for strangling my signifigant other I sent them home, calling my mother to come get me when the doctor finally decided I existed. (I'll be on antibiotics for a week for my throat and ear). The nurse who was supposed to discharge me disappeared for an hour so the grand total was over 5 hours...for a 5 minute poking and a prescription.

So, I'm finally home, exhasuted, and I have to clean my house because mommy doesn't get a day off, even when she had the plague.

	It's fun isn't it? Do you have a CVS Pharmacy near you? If you do check and see if they have a Minute Clinic. It's a walk in, no appointment needed doc that isn't charged at ER by insurance. Well at least not by mine. We go there if we can't get into our normal doc. (Reply to this)
