Default Re: Staying Frugal with medical issues?

Oh, Ok. Sorry, I thought that doctors want their patients to come often, so they would make more money off of them. Or at least that the feeling I always get from my experience with doctors.

They would tell you to get all the check ups and appoitments you need and don't need. Last time I went for my check up, they told me to run all kinds of blood tests, then to come back to see the doctor again. I came back, the doctor said, the results are ok, and she also said that it's been so many years since I checked my vision. No, thanks! I know I can see good, I never had problems with that. I had a good vision a few years ago, and I still have no problems to read anything, even street signs far away when I am driving. She couldn't find anything wrong with my health, so she was hoping to have an extra appointment because I haven't had my vision checked for years.

That time I had a free medical, she said, it won't cost you anything. But, yea, it will cost me a half a day of my time. All that, so they could make more money.

I know many people in their 40s and older. Once they started taking some medication, they have to go to a doctor a lot, and they got even more sick. The health industry doesn't want people to be healthy. Most of the doctors don't care about patients. But I am sure there is at least a few that do. They want their patients to come back and not to die, so they would keep coming back.
