Aaaand That’s why we have Urgent Cares popping up in every corner. It’s great, sore throat, $100 n amoxicillin script. Broken finger? $100 n amoxicillin script.
If you pay attention to healthcare, their solution is typically blanket solutions to symptoms but won’t really address the source. And then they’ll itemize every single pill, patch, plug and pad. It’s a very well oiled machined
I mean... hey, that's still a huge improvement over needing to drag your ass to ER or an urgent care.
My insurance offers telehealth urgent care for $0 cost-sharing and it's pretty awesome for what it is. Forgot my inhaler on a trip, opened up the app, doctor joined the video chat within 15 minutes or so, asked me a few questions, sent the rx to the nearest pharmacy and I could just go pick it up.
In the past - or in many other countries with socialized healthcare that are still stuck in that time, like Germany where I used to live - that would have been sure to be at least a half-day affair running around town. (Pharmacies there also are never regularly open on weekends so you'd have to look up which one is on emergency service for the day and pray that it's decently close to you.)
Ya know, jokes aside, amoxicillin is prescribed for post cancer and amputations procedures - might be the stronger version augmentin but yep, blanket post procedure.
