I had a tick bite that was irritated (but not a bullseye rash that I could see) - phoned GP practise, doctor phoned me back a couple of hours later and discussed the situation, ruled out blood tests because they said they were inconclusive at best and arranged for a 3 week course of antibiotics. My wife picked them sup from a pharmacy later that afternoon as she was in town anyway. No direct costs, no mention of money, insurance or anything at the doctors or the pharmacy...
- Workaccount2 1y agoYou are getting snagged on the surface level discussion about tick bites, rather than the real discussion about the complexity of medicine.
- arethuza 1y agoNote the last sentence of what I said. Edit: Discussions of US healthcare all seem insanely complex to me - but it all seems to be about insurance and money - which are the last things I want to think about if I am ill or injured.
