She literally called me at the time of the appointment to tell me she can't see me. She was so apologetic, but was like "I absolutely can treat you, but I'm not allowed by your insurance". Fuck this country....
That's very interesting, and I appreciate you taking the time to explain this in so much detail. I looked at urgent care near me, but my insurance requires a referral from a primary care physician first. I will continue to explore my options.
A handful of bastards at the top are making unfathomable amounts of wealth at the cost of the lives and future of the country. A majority of the country is in support of nationalizing health care. I've even met conservatives who agree. It's these sick fucking parasites who won't allow us to have it.
All the fuckers writing the laws have socialized healthcare. It's the untouchables who don't.
Thank you for your concern, and for talking some sense into me. I'm in pain and not being as rational as I usually am. I decided to go to urgent care and just.. not pay. I'll figure out my next move when I recover.
Riiigghhttt! I can understand that that differences in physical biology demand different attention. That's not what I'm complaining about. It's the way it's set up. I was told that at my appointment. Why not just refer me to a specialist? The website could've even just referred me to urgent care. But, no, their goal is to obfuscate and irritate until the patient gives you and pays out-of-pocket.
[Final Update] My insurance won't cover UTIs for males. Yes, I'm in the US. (lemmy.world)
