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.
LOL.
“Come back later when it’s time to remove the entire ear.”
