And friends going to Mexico can bring back cheap penicillin that always gets me started on the antibiotics... and then usually, no dr. appt is needed at all :) However, do not try that if you are allergic to pen!!!

Having appointments are definitely better, IMHO.

The way it is right now, it's just so wasteful and overpriced. $1,000 to pull out wisdom teeth when the whole process takes 5 minutes? Come on...

It's all "their hospitals" or you have to pay by yourself. It's good for others to know that this option is available though when we are older and need to contemplate on other options once we don't have our job sponsored health plan.
