Is it really worth going to doctors these days?

It seems you can no longer get any prescription without running a crap ton of tests i miss the old days were doctors would just give you a paper script. I feel by the time you get all the tests back you can try some herbal remedies and be cured.

They do these tests for the money and they usually come back negative. The doctor will tell you that you need all of the tests to rule out things you might have.
I don't know what county you live in but in America we have Urgent Care medical centers and they don't have all of the specialized test equipment there, so you might be able to avoid expensive test and just get the prescription - of course depending on what your diagnosis is.

It is worth it because they are either free or you only end up paying around 20%. Then we get two for one prescriptions if needed, which means fewer trips to the pharmacy.

I guess you just have to get antibiotics though someone like Jase Medical for emergency use and just have them on hand so you don't have to deal with all the diagnostics and several thousand dollar bills for minor issues.

I guess you can thank the Sackler family, their corrupt pill mill doctors and the whole sad opioid crisis for that result.
