Meds

Just a quick little thing today. I recently went to the hospital because of tooth pain. It was so severe that I relented and went to the ER. The doctor wanted to prescribe an antibiotic and pain meds. He found out I am allergic to Penicillin and anything in that family so he didn't give me an antibiotic. The next one on his list and apparently only other one he said would cost me $100 since I am uninsured. Here is the fun part the Oxycodone 5 that I got for pain prescribed to me cost under $8. How screwed up is it that a addictive, regulated narcotic costs less than an antibiotic that is meant to prevent me from dying because my tooth becomes infected. I just found that a little ridiculous and felt the need to share it. Till later.
