Default Re: Staying Frugal with medical issues?

I think, as with all things in life, you just have to use a little common sense when dealing with your doctors. It's not really a good idea to just leave it all up to them and go blithely on your way, assuming 'they'll take care of it."

Each of us has the ultimate responsibility to take care of their own health. Ask informed questions, be prepared before you go in for a visit and do your own research online. Most insurance companies will pay for a 2nd opinion. If you have a doctor that seems overly preoccupied with fees, then find a different doctor.
