Get referred to another Doctor.
$30 copay.
Doctor wants to do an EDG.
Another appoint is made for that procedure.
$30 copay, procedure done, results show an ulcer and a hitalhernia. Im put on meds, and referred to another doctor for my tonsils.
Have yet to receive the bill for the EDG, which i am sure will be $2,000+

Had my appointment today with the tonsil specialist, had to drive an hour to go there.
Paid $60 specialist copay, just to have this specialist look at my tonsils in my mouth and confirm they need to be removed.
Now an appointment is made for Feb 23rd to have them removed. But before that can be done, i have to have yet another doctors appointment made for a physical.
Doing that right now back at my local clinic, another $30 copay just to talk to a doctor and have yet more bloodwork done and rack up more bills.

I hate this freaking medical and health system and the whole medical/health insurance crap.
