I had the most amazing doctor appointment of the future today...
... I've had a cough that gets worse at night for about a fortnight...
...I cough hard enough that I wheeze on the inhale and it's starting to tear up my diaphragm at the sternum...
...I call my insurance to get a call nurse...
...They cut me off, but not before pimping a website of theirs.
I look it up...
...They list all the doc-in-a-boxes in my immediate area...
...and their online site that's available with no wait right now...
...I understand my situation. It's simple. This isn't MS, this is antibiotics. I need someone who can write a scrip...
...I Install the app, I can choose from 2 providers with no wait: A nurse and a P.A...
I choose the P.A. and wait, maybe 5 minutes....
...She comes on. She knows my medical history...
..."I'm taking this MS med and pee pill"...
... "feel your neck... feel your sinuses... any swelling?... no? Okay, show me your throat..."
...I'm exuberant enough that I look like I'm swallowing my cell phone...
..."good. I'll prescribe you an antibiotic. It'll be available in an hour..."
...40 minutes later I get a call.
"Your prescriptions are ready. "
...amoxycillin and an anti-cougher...
...I guide the pharmacist through her med look-up for my MS drugs to make sure there are no conflicts. There aren't...
...In out. Total cost? US$0.00.
...Total time? 45 minutes. Including installing the app and driving to the pharmacy.
