Tammy Posted October 15, 2009 Share Posted October 15, 2009 My goodness.....doctors just can't get enough money....can they, LOL. First they said I had to be seen once a year in order to get my migraine meds. Ok....I can see that. NOW....it has turned into every 9 months. Not to mention I had every test possible in January..... They sent me a letter stating "It is time for your 9 month follow up."......yea right....sure it is. . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
usetoschool Posted October 15, 2009 Share Posted October 15, 2009 :lol: The doctors greed isn't funny, just when I first read the topic I thought you meant you were pregnant - 9 months? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Harriet Vane Posted October 15, 2009 Share Posted October 15, 2009 A former allergist tried to insist on twice a year check-ups with her, and a full battery of tests (scratch test, etc.) every five years. This is ridiculous. Thankfully the allergist we are with now has more common sense. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Murphy101 Posted October 15, 2009 Share Posted October 15, 2009 yeah. not much sympathy here.:) My dh has to go in every 3 months for his type 1 diabetic meds/equipment. At least with yours there is some chance that you will not need the meds anymore some day. ( I hope for your sake!;)) It's not like my dh is ever going to go into the endo and find out he doesn't need insulin. And yeah, he's had this for 30+ years so we aren't interested in any blarney about how one day there will be a cure either. Yeah right. Like any pharmacutical company is going to cure that cash cow.:glare: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Laura Corin Posted October 15, 2009 Share Posted October 15, 2009 We had a pediatric dentist in Bangkok who insisted that the boys come in for check ups every four months. Boys with no fillings, no issues, no cleaning problems. Leaving aside that we were a plane-ride away and couldn't possibly come every four months, it just seemed like a great way to make money. We went back to our old dentist in Hong Kong who called us in twice a year. The boys still have perfect teeth. Laura Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
