I dont want to be 'that guy' going to the ER for the sniffles.
"But they have all of the equipment to run all the tests!"
Yes. They do. But thats...for Emergencies! Which part of this isn't sinking in?
Anyways, I'm not ditching her because its nigh on impossible getting a family Doctor these days but I'm not hitting up the ER for every blood test or whatever either, thats insane.
So I get to become...'that troublesome patient.'
"How come you havent got those blood tests done yet?"
- Because it takes a long time to get an appointment.
"Just go to ER!"
- We've been over this. It isnt happening.
