I love that show Bullshit. Anyway if the US has such great health care and is the best in the world, why did I go to doctors for 11 years about my low back pain only to get sent home with muscle relaxers and Vicodin (well I didn't mind the Vicodin so much)? No x-ray, no MRI, nothing to see what the real problem is. 11 years of back pain. Finally one quack Dr. decided to x-ray my back. Well shit my pants. I have a compressed disk in my lower back. Bad enough to show up on an x-ray. All these years these great fuck Dr.s told me it was muscular. They didn't even bother to look further. Now that I have an answer what did they do about it? Well basically nothing. I was sent to physical therapy, which my insurance didn't cover, and that was it. I'm still in pain. I finally decided to see a chiropractor. That has been quit helpful, but again my insurance doesn't cover that. I'm sure I'll be in pain all my life. Maybe surgery would help, who knows, but I'm sure CIGNA would call that a preexisting condition and not cover the surgery. This is truly great private health care in action.
