Visiting the doctor is fun isn't it
You don't feel so well, so you gather up all your strength and get into your
car on a quest to feel better. You then show up at a place where other people who
may feel just as crappy as you congregate. After giving you these forms to fill out so
you wouldn't notice how long you really had to wait. You then become like a bingo player
waiting for your ever elusive "number" to be called before any others. The moment
finally comes and you grab you stuff and get your chance to enter through
those doors, only to be disappointed by having to wait in another room. A room with
no magazine or the likes to distract yourself. Finally the doctor comes in asking how you are
doing. After some questions and looking around, the doctor narrowed down what exactly
you got. The doctor then take this special notepad and scribble down the name of
these magic pills that you have to take. Of course on your way out it is necessary to empty
out your wallet to the person at the desk because it isn't cheap to stay healthy.
Your journey however isn't over, now you have to dirive yourself to get those magic pills.
Again you have to wait depending on how many other sick people got there before you.
Finally you get those magic pills, and of course this time you have to use these magnetic plastic
cards to pay for it because you already emptied your wallet. You get home and your journey
is over. You take one or two of those pills in hopes that you can escape this crappy feeling
which got worst because you've been up the last couple hours going to all these places.

After 10 days of first taking regular antibiotics then switching to a much stronger one ($4 per pill),
2 doctor visits, countless number of M&M looking advils, and $400 less inside my wallet later
I think I am finally over the hump, or at lease at the top of it.

Poor you, doesn't sound fun at all. What's worse is when you don't have insurance for anything.
