I went to the dr the other day, a new GI dr to ask about a condition called R-CPD that makes it so you can't burp. I have been complaining about this for over 10 years to my dr's and they never paid attention to it. Well I came across this diagnosis and went in to ask about it. After waiting 3 months for the appointment, an hour because the dr was late and spending $45 on a copay I got the response "What is that?" from the fine dr. Unfortunately I am not surprised but still a little disappointed. He said that he might know some places a few hours away that treat it and in the meantime suggested a antibiotic but warned it is expensive. I said I was willing to try it, so he called it in. So for the deal of a price after insurance I am only out $722, but that is for a whole 2 week supply($2600 before insurance)..... So what did I spend? I spent 3 months waiting, 2.5 hours of personal time and a little under $800 to get some questions to my question and now a roadtrip in my future to pay more $$$. Gotta love the medical system, I have learned to keep my expectations low so I am not as disappointed. No car parts in my future...
