Paid 500$ up front that day and would be billed the rest. He had not even waited on the blood results before he gave her the drugs to get. Needless to say we got the results and talked with another doctor who said the antibiotics wont do anything and get off the steroid before it made it worse. Turned out it was just a virus.
We went back to the hospital and told them to kiss our ass on the rest of the money. They needed to get Doctors that knew what the fuck they were doing before they got someone killed taking the wrong meds.

Why would you take your wife to the ER over a rash? Why did you pay $500 up front? Why would you assume that the second Doctor was correct and the first Doctor wasn't?
My experience tells me that if you go to three different Doctors with the same symptoms you will get three different opinions.
