So, after hearing that Britt's step mother was concerned about her cough I took her in. (told her she could not come back if I did not get her checked out). I took her to the same day clinic that is in our clinics that we go to. After sitting and waiting an hour and a half. We finally were taken in a to a room. Where we waited another half hour. The doctor looked her over and said your right it is just a cough. (duh). But if you want we can give her something to help mellow the the cough. OK, I am game to try. And she asked if we wanted to run blood work to verify that it was viral. I said OK we are here lets get this done.
So after all is said and done we have spent $30.00 office visit.
$45.00 RX
And no real problem except for a cough. Doctor called an hour later and said it was VIRAL. So, now we have a Inhaler with a very expensive tube ($25.00) to help administer the medicine and very strong cough medicine.
Now to her father this is not a big deal since he was able to get his child support dropped to $50.00 a month and no medical expenses to pay.
Now I look at it like this I just spent a days pay on stuff I really did not need to purchase. I got everything filled and picked up because I did not want to take a second trip to town in one day. So, since we have the inhaler we will try it out. The only thing that really bothers me is that I had to purchase the tube. Why couldn't the doctor just give me one? Instead of me buying one. I am in the wrong business.
