Between losing and gaining medical insurance a couple of times in the past couple years, I haven't been the most frequent visitor of medical centers for myself. But I was having some "potty" issues and finally decided to give my new insurance a work out. Now, I've had a bit of a cold for a couple of days too, but its a cold, we just have to wait those out right? Right. So, I go in, get my vitals done, give a urine sample and wait for the doctor to give me 2 minutes, write me scrip and send me home. I had the great fortune of seeing a Nurse Practioner that believes in spending more than 2 minutes with a patient. She took one look at me and said we're gonna take a look at that cold too.
So, I walked out of the doctor's office diagnosed with a UTI (urinary tract infection), URI (upper respitory infection), bronchitis, and an ear infection. I got to have a cortizone shot in my butt, nose spray for my nose and a fun antibiotic that doesn't have a generic equivalent yet.
Remind me not to complain the next time one of my kids breaks a bone.

how did you not know you had an ear infection?
Beats me, it was clogged, but not achy.
