or why having to choose an HMO doctor sucks.
So I go to my little group insurance website to find a dermatologist because..................
Warning...if you are squeamish and don't have a sense of humor??? Stop reading now and go blog elsewhere.
A) I've got this itchy white rash on my neck, that rears it's ugly head every few years, having first blessed me with it's "presence' at the tender age of 12.
and
B) Acne. WTF?????? I'm freakin 45 years old. At some point between the grey hair and emerging wrinkles....acne should NOT be on the list of beauty maintenance concerns.
CRAP
So I go like a good little doobie to my HMO approved dermatologist,(who lives within walking proximity) and am told in the course of a 10 minute consult that
A) Adult onset acne is more common than puberty acne.
Oh realllllly??? Since when? Cause I'm looking at photos of my ancestors at my age and they didn't have acne and they didn't have makeup or photoshop, so WHAT gives???
and
B)That itcy white rash on my neck. Uhhmmm...yeah, there's no getting rid of it permanently. The stuff that causes it? Is everywhere. It just happens to like my skin. A lot. Oh great...THIS is what wins me a freakin popularity award???
oh and to cap it off
C) I have a flippin printout with (6), yes that is SIX prescriptions to cure my ails. Okay doing the math, 6 scrips times a $30 co-pay and the $25 office visit fee and I'm over $200 with no guarantee that any of this will work.
Can you say hosed?
Can you say homey don't play this game?
yeah...that's what I said.
Six scrips my a#$

Six prescriptions tells me you should get a second opinion! I hate doctors that prescribe a lot because they think it makes them look like they know what they're talking about!
