The Doctor is... WRONG!

I went to the hospital the other night with throat problems. Having very little use for doctors I went as a last resort knowing that there was infection in my throat and ears. The doctor decided to do chest x-rays and an EKG to rule out heart attack. I asked the nurse what an EKG costs? HE did not know. I asked the doctor how much was an EKG? SHE did not know. This is the problem with healthcare today and why costs are spiraling out of control. I never met a mechanic or a carpenter that had no idea concerning the cost of parts or lumber. It's their job. I refused both procedures and requested antibiotics. Three or four hours later my heart attack was clearing up quite well.
