4. Maybe not related, but......

I went to the DR. for an aching shoulder the other day and he said we could go 'serious' (MRI) or try a 'shot.'
I was willing to try the 'conservative' route (strike me down for THAT comment!) and he gave me a shot in the shoulder.

Got the 'bill' today (insurance paid it, but STILL!!!) - that bill was $140 for the meds - AND $140 for HIM sticking the needle in me t 'deliver' the meds.

SERIOUSLY?

$140 MORE for sticking the needle in me?

We have a larger problem than Hunter Biden's laptop here.........
