How much for a Dr?
 
I'm sick... headache last Friday... out of sorts over weekend... sore throat on Monday... sore when I eat/ painful when I breathe... had to come home from work today (and I don't do days off sick!) feel as rough as a badgers bottom... running a temperature too...

I think I need a Dr, but how much will it cost?

My doctor 'bulk bills' so you don't have to pay :D He's in Belmont though ;)
I sincerely hope you feel better soon.

Here. I'll save you some money.

You have a virus. Drink fluids, get bedrest and eat ice cream.
Antibiotics won't kill a virus.
:)

Go bulk billed. Docs around here can be about $30 to $45... :)

I've been drinking fluids and taken paracaetamol since Monday.... I don't want abx, I want permission to assume the sick role... can you tell my husband that it has to be strawberry cheese cake ice cream please?

I'm not getting much sympathy from HIM

Sorry to hear you're not feeling well.

Hope you feel better soon.

Billy went to see the Doc the other week it cost him $50 to see him & I think $15 for prescription. I think you get roughly $30 back on medicare altho OH has yet to do this :frown:

Progress report from my sickbed in Rockingham:

hacking up green and yellow gunk:unsure: At least the stuff that has been heavy and painful is now moving on....

Headache less bad

Temperature reducing (37.9 C)

Beiginning to feel less like spending precious dollars on a Dr and more like getting my haircut instead... perhaps I could chnage the title to

How much for a Hairdresser?

Pleased to see you are feeling a bit better. Think I'd rather pay the doctor than the hairdresser. Cost me $155 at hairdresser last time and I wasn't even sure I liked it.

Re: How much for a Dr?
 
yep but a Dr can't fix my haystack which is currently masqerading as a hairdo... Its time for the chop.

I shall go forth and spread my germs to the haridressing population of Rockingham....
