Doctor: make an appointment

Me: But I’m uninsured and unemployed, that’s not something I can easily do. Can we PLEASE refill my meds?

Doctor:

Really fuckin pissing me off this morning

I go through the same shit with my heart meds. Mother fucker, this isn’t something that goes away. I’ve got it for life!

Joke aside tho, fucking miserable situation to be in. Ran into a similar situation with my asthma. I’m not gonna magically stop having asthma, why do I need to prove it every time I need an inhaler refill?

Its mostly just a minor annoyance I have to go through once a year. Same medication daily for 20+ years, no change and yet

more like a wealthcare system. Banks masquerading as hospitals and ambulatory care clinics. Best system in the world, folks.

Fucking nonsense… you have an history of getting the script and are already going to pay for the meds out of pocket. Stop making more hoops to jump through!!!

It’s largely the insurance companies (who are in the insurance [finance] business of course, not healthcare)

You know what would make it easier to get a job and insurance? Being terribly depressed.
