In reply to the discussion: Got a call from my Doctor's office today............ [View all]DearHeart
(692 posts)48. You're lucky! I have an asshole for a doctor!
Unemployed, have insurance but a massive deductible(only for dire emergency), so everything is out of pocket for me. This damn doctor gave me one refill of all my meds and will not give more until I have a blood test. Well, said blood test will run about $800. No way I can do that, so off the meds I go in a month or so. Don't know how to get my RX without the blood test.
