Went to the hand guy the tenth of June. He looked at my hand for less than five minutes and told me I needed an expensive test.

My regular doctor tried to direct me to a place where I could get some help, but they were not only less than helpful, they were downright useless. I know there will be out-of-pocket costs, but nobody is willing to tell me what they will be.

“I’m sorry, we can’t know how much it will cost until we do the test!”

“I’m sorry. I don’t know how much I will pay you until I receive a bill” Suppose that would fly? Me neither.

I am coming to the conclusion that physical pain is preferential to contact with the medical community.
