Thank goodness for quality health insurance which gives a person more options and better treatment.
Forgot to say that my husbands appointment was only about 10 minutes long.He wasn't even given a diagnosis,he wasn't even really asked any questions,they just saw his last name and wrote about 6 prescriptions,sent him on his way and told him to return in 3 months.
