$115 LATER.........

Yes that's what it cost me by the time i took "A" to the doctors...$55 but i do get $25 back when i send the reciept into medicare. Her various medicines cost $60, this included anitbiotics,eardrops,nasal spray,shower cap and ibuprophen.
We love our doctor, he and his wife are both GPs and OBGYN's. He was there when "A" was born...even gave her a soft toy. One of his boys goes to the same school as "A".........very nice family and just brilliant doctors. So much so that to get an appointment with him, you must wait at least 6 weeks, people come from miles away to see him. I always have various appointments made well in advance, if need be, i cancel them and make another, just to be sure i have one if "A" is sick.
Anyhow, poor old "A" has tropical ear as wellas a middle ear infection AND a chest infection. LOL....Dr V told her that she wasn't to go swimming for a week, that is put her under the water in our pool. He then told her no bath or shower water must go near her ear. She took it to mean nooooooooooooo shower or bath...YAAAAAAAAAAAAAY!!!!! Wrong!!...He soon clarified what he meant..lol.She thought she was on to something :o)
