Doctors Visits and Prescriptions

This week has been a week full of doctors visits and prescriptions. It has also been a week of spending a lot of money of them. I should have become a doctor...i always think that I should become one so i could charge people a decent amount of money for my services! I could write on and on about how much I have spent on the medical field this week, but I won't do that. All I do know, is I'm not about to spend $240 on these stupid inserts for my shoes to see if that will help the pain in my foot that has been going on for years that no one can seem to figure out why I have it. Okay...so I will say...why would a doctor prescribe you some medicine that cost a ridiculous $40 when you can get the same thing over the count for probably $10 maybe not even that much. However, I don't think about these things until its too late! I found out this week that I'm a little anemic, so I have to take these iron pills for a month. Well, I didn't know that you can just buy iron pills, so I get these expensive ones that were prescribed for me from the pharmacy that are not even listed on my list of meds through my insurance company. After freaking out at the pharmacy window about the cost of all my meds, I give in and pay for the medicine. Why can't the doctor just say...go get your a bottle of iron pills. You don't need these ridiculous expensive ones.

I laugh because every time I go to the pharmacy to pick up my mom and dads meds...they are like...$1.00! Yeah, you heard it...a dollar!!! I asked the pharmacist one day, why can't any of mine be a dollar. Mine has to be at least $15 and up!! Okay...so i went on and on about the cost! Oh well!

2 more days of school this week...i'm ready for the weekend!!! Last weekend was good...i meant to mention that my good buddy Joge and Jon came for the night! It was so good to see them!!! I miss Joge living here! She and I just really had a great time together!

Well, thats about it! I need to go! Don't forget to remember and pray tomorrow for the families of the victims of September 11th!!!

I hear ya! Why is it that my mom can be in the hospital for like 4 or 5 days and the total cost for her will end up being $20.00 and one of us will just make a visit to the Dr. and the cost will be about $200.00- $400.00.
