3 costly months of physical therapy, still have an injured ankle and…physical therapist is sending me to an orthopedic doctor. Saw the doc briefly today after waiting for over an hour and he wants an mri. Mri’s are crazy expensive.
I’d like to (very carefully) get up on my soapbox and say that the cost of healthcare to average working folks is ridiculous. Depending on what treatment I received at each visit, my physical therapy appointments have been between $125 – $250 each visit, two times a week for over 12 weeks. I have been making payments on this and other medical bills from the same injury, and now I’m supposed to pay more more more? Where is the money supposed to come from? Uggg. I am gingerly, carefully stepping down off my soapbox.
