@AnCuRuadh @anarchopunk_girl @kayeluvian Dafuq? In America I have trouble getting any treatment at all regardless of how much I pay! Can't even get a simple flu test without a NINE MONTH WAIT (I have literally been told that by doctors as though that makes ANY sense at all); I go to appointments and can't get even five minutes with the doctor, can't get anything other than hastily prescribed pills that typically don't even work and pay hundreds of dollars even with decent insurance going back over and over again to try to find something that will because they'd rather throw twenty prescriptions at you than spend five minutes getting the information required to make sure they're treating the right thing...shit half the time the doctor tells you while they're writing out the prescription that they don't think it will help but they want you to take it anyway (probably so they get a cut next time the drug reps come around)...

I mean yeah I guess if you just want pills you can get pills, just be careful because they most likely won't be the right pills and will often make the situation worse...last time I *trusted* a doctor here I went from a sore throat to coughing up blood because of the crazy cocktail of drugs they blindly threw at me in the hopes that one of them might do something...

You ain't a patient in the US, you're a petri dish. And you'll pay obscene amounts to be that.
