Doctor's: No Wonder They Are Rich

Do you have health insurance? If not, don't go to the doctor. You will be charged for every little thing done while you are there. I bet they even charge for weighing you, something everybody finds deplorable in the first place. It's outrageous. Their equipment and the use of employees does not cost near as much as they make you pay. My husband recently had to go to the doctor for chest pain. We were afraid his heart may be involved so we decided it was best, even without insurance, to have it checked out. The doctor was with Michael for a total of ten minutes and had a diagnosis for the chest pain, but still insisted we do all these other tests just to "make sure" it wasn't anything else. He sent Michael for x-rays, an EKG, and blood work, all of which came back just fine, just as the doctor initially said it would. They weasel money out of you. They make you take unneeded tests just for the money. These tests they know will be useless to you, but very beneficial to them. You want to know what all that cost us: around $1,000. You want to know what we learned: Michael has inflammation on a joint between his ribs and collar bone (which is very common) that can be treated with every day ibrofen. Wow, way to scam us out of money. They don't actually care about 'helping' people. They just want money, and they definitely get it. Veterinarians are the exact same way. I just had to pay for a vet to look through a microscope for two minutes while I waited for him to come up with a new pill for me to pay for and feed to my dog. It's no wonder they're all rich.
