And thus begins the doctor dance that generally results in the following:
- Being told there's either nothing wrong with you or there's nothing he can do.
- Getting a prescription for antibiotics.
- Getting a referral to a specialist and having to wait a month or more to get in, in which case you'll probably die first.
Oh yeah, and here's my co-pay and insurance can take care of the rest!
On the scale of insult-to-my-intelligence/waste-of-my-time, doctor visits rank just below Comcast Internet telling me to reboot my computer and just above having some HVAC guy come relight the pilot on my stove. Maybe at this point we can just give people a basic IQ and internet test, and if they pass just allow them to diagnose themselves and prescribe themselves drugs. Then we can just dispense with the whole Primary Care Physician farce altogether?
