Age is not Golden unless your the DR.

Had an early morning appointment… whew that went fast. I was in there at 8:15… had my paperwork filled out on-line so that was not a problem, made the walk down a hall to a waiting room, put on some funky shorts, back down the hall to xray, got two pictures… into the room, Dr. is in and says – “do you have any leg pain?” well not really but have a lot of cramps, and stuff, explained what my pains were, how I got there, etc. and the “thunking” in my hip and up my back when I walk… I talked 3 times what he did…. then “we will set you up for therapy and give you some anti-inflamatory to work on the arthritis pain”. “most likely your pain and the “thunk” is something out-of-place” – You Think?
I am walking out to the front with a bag of Celebrex samples (supposed to be ok with the ulcer and acid reflux?) at 8:35… paid my copay, set up therapy appointment for Wed AM and out the door by 8:40… looked at the charges and they were $330 for that visit? WHEW!… They sure can knock off your coins in a short time…
