 3 times on 4 I go to the doctor they told me: we don't know what it is, probably nothing, just take painkiller and wait, if it's not getting better in 2-3 weeks, come again.
That's cost you 80 bucks, thanks for coming.

 Wow, amazing advice, well worth $80. Thanks, Doc! Over the last ten years, I think I've been to the doctor only once. My dad has some health conditions, so I've taken him to the doctor. The doc gave him terrible advice, but after some in-depth web searching, I was able to help him more than the cocktail of meds the doctor gave him. It was the first time his eyes were opened to the big pharma scam.
