Most of the time, I think you can learn more about your ailments via a 5 minute google search than spending an hour at the doctor's office.

They do serve as an effective filter (no, you don't actually have pancreatic cancer because you have stomach cramps), but they really like to dig deeply into the issue, at least not without many repeat visits.

They're going to bill in 15 min increments. So I'd hope I'd get that.
