MCHD
The health department here in Marion County has my thanks! They have a doctors office that serves people under 26 years old, and you are able to go there for pretty much anything. It only costs $10!! This covers labs and most other tests as well. I couldn't believe it. I was so appreciative to them and the doctor that saw me was wonderful. It was the best doctors visit of my life if you can believe it. She cared about the whole person and really wanted to get to know me. She was with me for about an hour! Can you believe it? I sure couldn't. How about I ask everyone to share a doctors visit story. It can be funny, scary, etc...whatever you want to share. This could be amusing :-)

A few years ago a friend asked me to take her to a doctor's appt. She wasn't feeling well enough to drive. I ended up going back into the exam room with her.
The doctor came in and prescribed something. I don't remember what it was. But he said that it was only available as a suppository.
When he said that I remember laughing quite a bit. And I remember my friend getting mad at the doctor and telling him that there had to be something she could take in pill form. The doctor insisted that the only thing she could take only came in suppositories.
He gave her a shot before we left which left her very groggy. So, after taking her home, I had to go and fill the prescription for her.
I tried to call her to check up on her the next day but she didn't answer. When I talked to her 2 days later she was feeling much better but she was very mad. It turns out that she had decided to see a different doctor and get a second opinion.
That doctor gave her the prescription in pill form and had found it funny that the first doctor would prescribe a suppository for something readily available in pill form.
I found it hard not to laugh again. My friend was a little upset that I found it funny. But she did eventually admit that she found it funny too.
