On Monday I spent most of 5+ hrs at the hospital having a breathing test and seeing a specialist. I have three that take turns seeing me and the run down of the three is quite different.
Dr#1-"Eat healthy-take this vitamin".
Dr#2-If you don't hack up 100ml of blood carry on, because the drug therapy of 3 different drugs, 4 times a day for 18 months, "I'll do more harm than good to you"
Dr#3- Have you had your flu shot, this shot, or that one, why not? The drug therapy only works 40-45% of the time, "So I just go in, and cut out hte parts that you don't need"
I got to see #2 and it was a good visit, wrote out a script. tried that one back in the 80's so it'll go to the trash can.
I could take a pill/therapy to stop the symptoms of two of my lung issues. One drug cost $65,000 and the other $95,000 per yr. It won't cure the problem just stabilizes the issues.
Nothing like having a price tag put on one's life.
