Doctor's office

I ran out of my inhaler stuff for my asthma so go get a refill. The prescription expired 2 weeks ago in August, so that will teach me to pay attention to expiration date. The pharmancy faxes the doctor's office and they call my my apartment because the doctor wishes to see me before he grants another prescription. Their records show I have not been there since 2005.

Go to the office early in the morning and see the doc. He wants to have me try a new inhaler to see if it works better and gives a prescription to the old one. He also prescribes a new medicine on the market, singular, that is for asthma and allergies. We go through my personal and family history of allergies and asthma and wound up talking about me needing to see a gynecologist because sexual active women need to see one every year. I don't recall mentioning being sexual active (hello!, I can't get a date so how does this turkey think I'm getting any). Plus, I'm unclear how we got to this subject from talking about allergies, I'm not here for fertility problems or fibroids.

Anyway, I go to the desk to pay and the receptionist asks me if I will be coming here on a regular basis. Excuse me?, I explained I come when I need to. I didn't go into that I have been coming here since I finished college so how often I show up is really none of her concern. Then she gives me an application for public assistance for health care, based on how much you make. Yeah, I'm familiar with public assistance from research my Mom insisted upon when I moved out of my parents' house years ago. I make too much for any public assistance programs so I tore up the application when I got home. Pay my bill and collect my prescriptions from the receptionist.

Then on to the pharmancy to hear, "Are you sure you want these inhalers, they really expensive". I say, "I know what they cost". Let's see, I can A: Go to the emergency room every time I have an asthma attack or B: Buy an expensive inhaler. How does one choose? Guess what, the singular costs twice as much as these inhalers (pharmacists had a coupon so I got one inhaler free cause it is a new product). Yeah, $103 for 30 pills equaling 30 day of medicine. It will be a long time before I do that again, I have to pay for car insurance in couple months. I have not felt any different since I took the singular so maybe it doesn't work, we shall see when I take it a few times. I paid $103 for these suckers, I'm taking them all. Post later. Bye!
