just live in America USA!!

You know, I woke up this morn..with a god awful ear ache.

Now I have really good insurance. And a family doctor.

but, I knew if I called my doc's office...I'd get his 86 year old receptionist and probably be told that the good doctor couldn't see me until tomorrow...

So..I thought scew that crap...I'm in some discomfort here and jumped in my 1991 stanza 5 speed and drove down to the "walk in clinic".

I walked in the door and asked..."do you folks just take walk ins" ? (like a dumb #) and she said, "yes, have you been here before?", I said, mmm, maybe a bunch of years ago, not sure.." anyway \ I filled out a ONE PAGE FORM, and waited............

About 35 minutes later I was called!! (my regular doc, I probably could have read 25 percent of
War and Peace"}

I was weighed and blood pressured and put in a room, and told that the doctor would be with me in a few minutes.

To make a long story short. I had the doc come in the room ( a really cool dude) talk to me about the bummer about "ear aches" and tell me a story of a "Baker, who use to get flower-build up, in his ear" and before I knew it set up his stuff.. and flushed me out!!

He also gave me free ear drops and set me up for a visit in a week to make sure all was well.

This folks, is the United States of America.

(Thats why the Canadians come here to Florida)

Don't know about over there, but here in Australia we can do all that if the doctor happens to be unavailable, but we also don't have to pay for it. No complaints from me!

I did try a bit of "self flushing", and such...but I had an infection also...plus 'my ear -drum was impacted' ..really bad...The trip I made was "in pain", and what I'm saying is..

I was well treated, and never asked for $$$ -it was a great thing I thought I'ed share.

The USA is a great place to live.
