So
Let me regal you with our experience of the American dream health system
First my baby wakes up crying with the pain so I talked to the management company and they advised a trip down to the local hospital.
So Lucy and I set off down there
She with a smile as she has now had calpol and me with a smile as I am hoping for George cloney or at the very least Noah whyley!
And what did I get
Chuck
Beer belly and a mullet that would have made Jason Donovan proud.
Much form filling and we eventually see a doctor type person who diagnoses an ear infection – surprise surprise
Now the painful but
The bill was
Wait for it
$235
!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Swallow and pay and leave
And now to the pharmacy
2 lots of antibiotics – one orally and one in the ear?? Why
Well obviously because these people are paid by the amount they prescribe!
$160
WHAT
A RIP OFF
Now I know we can claim it back but I still think the system stinks.
I LOVE the NHS
She is now residing in bed feeling very sorry for herself as she can’t swim.
The rest of us have had an at home day but are heading out to downtown Disney later.
I am trying to get all the washing done so we can arrive back with clean clothes ready to iron – luxury
The boys are outside doin some catchin.
Hope we have window insurance!
