You go on and use that Emergency Room, it's there for stuff

like the common cold, etc.
I don't get sick often, but when I have, maybe only 15% of the time going to the doctor actually made a difference.

90% of the time I hear "well it's viral so there's nothing we can do. That will be $200."
Or I hear "I'll write you a prescription for this antibiotic. That'll be $200"
I'm going to start saving my self some money and put bread in the back of the fridge.

Its pretty amazing how that works.

They take that little pick that could find a hole in A36 steel, and start poking my teeth with it. "Oh..its sticking. you need a filling there (for a hole you can't see)"
No wonder they kill themselves so much.

Re: How did u know you didn’t have cavities w out seeing a dentist.***

Buttmore seriously the cavities "developed" after my last 7 or 8 visits....Kinda feel like all the cleaning makes you more prone to develop cavities.

Jan 3, 2019, 9:45 AM

nope.
Was asked what toothbrush I used. Told them Sonicare because I'm not UDP. That's why I don't have cavities. Would strongly recommend

I don't think the doctors at the minute clinics know much

more than you or I. Sure, they went through the schooling, memorized some info, whatever....but I don't think they're operating much differently than we are when sick trying to google our symptoms. Just kind of taking wild guesses in the dark, and collecting money.
Here's another thing about doctors, and I suspect this is indicative of the larger problem with healthcare....Why do I have to fill out the same information half a dozen times? How many times do you need me to write my fugging birthday down? What kind of incompetent ######## are they running? It's like none of them have an internal records system, you have to start from scratch every time you go.

of that is necessary.
Like "Ugh, sir, can you not see we're healthcare professionals, please just do what we say and don't question all of the unnecessary garbage we're making you fill out. There's a reason why this has to be 10x more complicated than any other service you deal with in your life....We don't know what that reason is, but trust us sir....We're smarter than you"

You know who never seems to have to go to the doctor?

Methheads. You almost NEVER see a methhead in a doctor's waiting room.
So...maybe they're on to something.

she was a solid 6 through school.
Now that she's a NP and has money, she's a solid 9.
Her husband is a massive ### hole.
He was the kicker on the football team.
