Today I experienced the American health care system first hand and was diagnosed with the worlds most expensive ear infection. I was poked and prodded, weighed, had my temperature measured, heart beat and blood pressure monitored and God knows what else. Me in my confused state repeatedly reminding the doctor that "you know it's just an ear ache right?". An hour or so later I was laden with pills, information pamphlets and a bill for $37. Sigh, At least this means that the earache might finally go away.
