The ENT charged me 50 bucks for an office visit after I told them I'm self pay and guess how much it's going to cost me for the x-ray after I told them I'm self pay. 40 dollars. 40 fucking dollars. Can you believe that shit. I'm saving more money not having the insurance.
I guess my lectures on why you need to quit smoking have been to no avail.....I know how difficult it is to quit (50 years for me) and quit 17 year years ago..
I hope your x-ray is clean......let us know. You are still young enough to save yourself...Being tethered to oxygen is no fun.....really does get in the way of living....I predict, that your x-ray will be o.k. but doctor will say, "quit smoking" and prescribe cough medicine, cortisone and/or mucinex (sic). I am probably dumb, but I still don't understand your insurance...I realize self paid....well, never mind......
