| Topic | Is the cost of healthcare in America really as bad as people say? |
| _Rinku_ 05/15/17 3:17:45 PM #24: | Yes. I once paid $50 to have a nurse bark at me from across the room that I had ringworm (I didn't). Then she wrote me a prescription for a $100 cream that I could only get mixed up at their attached pharmacy. Or the time I had an abscess and the nurses refused to do anything about it other than give me a weak antibiotic (about $75 for that visit). Three days later and I HAD to go back and have it lanced/drained and put on an antibiotic that put me at extreme risk for C. dif (about $150 that time). The worst thing to me is that doctor's offices will not tell you how much procedures are beforehand. I've had friends get hit with $900 bills after being refused a quote. ... Copied to Clipboard! |
