One More Round

I've been sick for five weeks. FIVE.

Since I felt like I was getting worse rather than better I went back to the doctor again today.

I was prescribed the strongest oral antibiotic that you can take orally. I was given a coupon with the prescription note because as the nurse said, it's was expensive.

I was thinking ok, it's going to be a twenty-five dollar co-pay, rather than the five I usually spend for the regular kind of antibiotic.

I was right, it was twenty-five which wasn't too bad, but I was shocked to see that the full price without insurance would be $152... for five pills. REALLY!? I mean I want to feel better and all, but what is this I'm buying? CRACK?

I'm so thankful to have insurance, and I feel so sorry for people who can not get insurance for whatever reason.
