The Cost of Being Sick | Diggz.org Johnny Diggz' Blog
Today I shopped for doctors. I knew this day was coming, but I can’t wait any longer.
I smoked cigarettes from about age 23 until around 28. Then I quit for about 7 years, only to restart them after my divorce. When I started again I chose the “ultra light” variety…you know, because they are “ultra light”. I smoked for another 3 years until December 12th, 2008. That’s when I smoked my last cigarette.
That’s also when I started having some serious breathing problems.
Cooincidence or not, I was almost immediately stricken with a bout of bronchitis. 3 months later, a second one hit and this one came with one of the biggest scares I’ve ever had…waking up and not being able to breathe.
If you’ve ever had a nightmare where you’re suffocating or drowning, imagine having one of those terrible nightmares, and then when you wake up, YOU STILL CAN’T BREATE. Not a very pleasant feeling. It was like my lungs were waterboarding me for smoking.
I went to an emergency walk in clinic. You know, one of those 24-hour urgent care clinics? My mom calls them a “Doc-in-a-Box”. I had made the mistake of going to an actual emergency room once before. I don’t have health insurance so I am forced to be aware of the actual costs of medical care. The dollars I trade are dollars I earned, and my “insurance” is whatever I can pay within my a credit card limit.
This particular clinic cost me $270 to see a doctor (wait time: 3 hours). Plus $80 for a test to check the level of oxygen in my blood (a clothespin type device placed on my index finger). Once the doctor finally saw me, I watched as he read me a series of questions from his computer screen, and clicked on choices based on my answers. This lead him to a diagnosis of chronic bronchitis.
He prescribed me a Z-Pack , some oral steroids ( Prednizone ) and a one month supply of an inhaled steroid powder Asmanex and a referral to a pulmonary specialist because…and I quote, “you might have asthma.”
