going bankrupt just to feel better

ed and i have both been really sick, but his symptoms have been worse than mine. he went to the dr. on monday..and tested positive for the bacteria that causes stomach ulcers. seriously?

they asked that i go in this next week to get tested too, and said they'd call in the pack of antibiotics for ed to get started on. relieved to finally know what has been making us sick, he goes to the pharmacy...that wants $360 for his prescription. and that's after insurance knocked off a couple hundred. seriously?

he got a print out of the drugs that make up the pack, and we're going to call the dr. on monday to see if they can call in individual prescriptions for each drug which will hopefully allow us to get the generic version of them.

but seriously. who can afford that?
