A swollen nose and shitload of anti-biotics...

It hurts... a lot... Ouch...
THE PROBLEM:
============
I had a swollen nose 'cos of a Nasal infection due to a pimple that surfaced inside my nose. I looked like a joker as it turned red as a tomato and the swelling added an extra effect... My right eye hurt a lot and then was having continuous headaches.
A complete recipe for pain and agony. Had to go see the Doc immediately.
ANOTHER PROBLEM:
================
But in this stupid country a.k.a USA you can't just walk into a Doc's clinic as in India, you have to take appointment. And getting an appointment on the same day is no joke, you almost never get it.
FIRST SOLUTION:
===============
Luckily a lot of pestering and pleading earned me an appointment the same day as I explained Deborah (the office receptionist) my problem and she was more than helpful to squeeze me in the busy schedule...
DIAGNOSIS:
==========
After the Doc saw me, before even he could touch or take a look... He said it was a Nasal Infection because of some pimple inside of the nose and I agreed to it. After a close examination, he scared the shit out of me by telling, "If you would have come a little late, this could've affected your brain..."
Thanks to Deborah, I was saved!
Otherwise this country(USA) has a stupid medical system... And yes I will go on till the zenith to brag of this.
THE INJECTION:
==============
Then Dr.G ordered a nice shot of some strong anti-biotic injection. The Nurse was ready to take the shot and she pierced it straight in my butt without any sisterly care :(
THE PAIN:
=========
It hurts! I was limping the whole day because of the way she pierced the needle in my left butt cheek. I told her that this was the first time ever in my life that I had let out a cry of pain for being injected with a needle.
Long Live ANTIBIOTICS:
======================
So here I was injected with the antibiotic and the prescription was same old KEFLEX... another antibiotic and an ointment.
The SKY-HIGH COST OF MEDICARE :(
================================
Bactroban, an ointment which cost me 53 freaking Dollars! In India I think the costliest injection that I have ever taken was not more than 1300 Rs... and I had to pay 53$ = 2400 Rs.. thats simply crazy...
CONCLUSION:
===========
Theres a "BIG LOOT" here and injustice done by the MEDICARE companies and PHARMACY and that too in spite of me having a stupid insurance plan, which is another FARCE! All Infosys employees are forced(mark the words) to take up AETNA, when there are better Insurance plans available... Feels like being cheated to the gut...
