    萬惡的醫療體制

    後來我才發現,那三樣正在用的藥加起來要$600多,還好學校的保險蓋住了90%
    但是前後四次看醫生,雖然丫始終沒能讓我有一丁丁點點好轉,但還是面不改色bill了$1000多
    光第一次見面,隨便做了ENT慣例檢查,就是國內醫生掰開你嘴巴看嗓子,以及捅一根管子看耳朵之類
    前後不到20分鐘,就bill了$400多,換成人民幣,夠我在北京花天酒地腐朽一個月了
    對於這個bill,保險就沒那么大方了,最後自己還是要將近掏$400
    如果不是親身經歷,簡直就是聳人聽聞
    第一次爲了錢而淚如毛毛雨,實在是氣不過

    最近很多診所抱怨說醫院搶走了他們的病人
    於是Esther說不如分給他們一些病人
    我打電話給那些診所去問,對方一聽要referral病人給他們,都激動地不行
    然後一聽說病人都沒錢也沒保險,於是紛紛拒絕
    有的更是直截了當,“沒錢來這幹嘛,讓他們去free clinics”
    其實我每天所見的那些病人,多數都是沒有保險的
    這家醫院能做到如此非營利,讓我總算起了些敬意

    今天Esther忽然拿出7個inhaler塞給我
    都是她從診所里拿的sample,裡面有4個快過期,但是足夠我在那之前用完
    一共14周的量,又幫我省了$80
    心裡一激動,立刻約定要請她去Asia SF吃飯
    貌似飯錢要更貴得多,但這樣花錢才會覺得心安理得
