So yesterday I went to the Quick Care concerning a weird swollen spot on my leg. We didn't have to wait long in the actual waiting room, at least it didn't feel like it, I was reading. Then after getting all the vitals down (my scale is sadly accurate to the doctor's) we ending up waiting even longer in the check up room.
After a pretty long wait, he came in and in like five minutes told me it was some kind of fungal thing and prescribed a cream. As soon as we checked out, we went straight to the store for the prescription. The Pharmacist took a bit before telling me that my insurance wouldn't cover the costs. She then explained that it was due to the fact that this was something I could get anywhere. So my doctor was going to have me buy this tiny tube of stuff that would be expensive when there was a cheaper, bigger option one isle over. Athlete's Foot cream, that is it. Like he couldn't say "go get yourself some Athlete's Foot cream" instead of saying"Terbinafine Hydrochloride 1% Antifungal Cream." Thankfully the Pharmacist showed me which kind to get and just told me what the directions the doctor had sent for usage.
I'm just glad that it was something so simple (he thinks). I just have to keep my eye on it for the next couple of weeks and hope the cream kills it. Hope you are all well!
Until next time; may your day be wonderful.
