It costs the first and the second, unless you go to the free clinic...which is basically for poor pregnant teens, homeless people and drug addicts. It kind of scares me.
If you don't have insurance it costs you out of the wazoo for hospital visits, but thankfully there is a relatively cheap office with loads of doctors you can go to around here. Which is where she was.
I just remembered she wasn't even a doctor, she was a resident.

Ahh. I think it costs here but the last time I recall having one I was 5 and it wasn't my decision.
If she wasn't even a doctor, even more reason for her to be considered to be talking out of her arse, says I... nurses with ideas above their station are also shockingly bad.

oh god oh god NURSES
My friend's grandfather is in ICU, they thought he was going to die and when we went to go visit him the nurse in that station totally bitched us out, told me and her boyfriend to go wait in the waiting area. Waiting Room Nazi, I called her after that.

They are ALL NAZIS.
The one who used to replenish my pill supply at uni used to act like treating me was more than her job's worth because I clearly should be able to do these things by ESP...

Something else is also good for sore throats...
...as various male friends keep reminding me.

Sorry about that - was on a conference call.
I was in the hospital a couple weeks ago overnight, I just got a bill for $4K, but as I'm officially "unemployed" there's a great program that means the bill is only $500. Yay!
