    That and to deal with the symptoms of their illnesses that have gone untreated because a) too expensive and/or b) doctors here gaslight you that it’s just anxiety.

      My wife just paid $150 to go to a walk-in to check what is clearly a swollen blocked gland or something under her ear. It’s killing her. She was there for an hour. The doctor was in and out in under 2 minutes. He told her to take Tylenol and come back when it gets worse.

      So yeah, it’s cheaper and you waste less time buying OTC pain killers in bulk I guess.

        This sounds insane.

        I’ve heard ear infections can develop into stuff that can only be treated with IV antibiotics taken for months, otherwise they’re deadly. Stay safe.
