    Yes, absolutely. I’ve been with my mom to many doctor’s appointments for various things, usually pain of some kind.

    Literally every time we’ve gone, they take maybe 5 minutes out of their day to pop in the exam room, give her a once-over up and down, then ask a couple questions and prescribe a bullshit medication that literally doesn’t work. It’s just throwing money down the drain at this point.

    And I know it’s location-dependent. A couple years ago she was traveling out of state to California and had to go to a doctor for something while she was out there. She told me the difference between Midwest and West Coast healthcare is almost literally might and day.
