I messed up my back this weekend. I tried to pick up Maggie and the next thing I know, I’m laying in the middle of the street and I can’t stand up straight. Sucks. But what’s worse is that today I went to see my doctor. The same doc I’ve seen for 15 years. But now they tell me (after my appointment) that he’s a specialist now, so my co-pay is higher. Nice. So I saw a pulmonary specialist about my back, and that’ll be $35. Want to know the real kicker?
Wait for it..
I didn’t even see him, I saw his PA. So I paid more to see a specialist’s assistant in a field that isn’t his specialty. I think our health care system is on the right track, don’t you??
