Who pays cash for a doctor?

I've been busy on the doctor front.  Yesterday I saw a new internist.  He took a thorough history, seemed somewhat sympathetic and here's the kicker -- said he'd think about it and to come back in three weeks.  Hell, send me some medical books and I'll think about it for three weeks.  Not to sound harsh but the guy is so old he may be dead in three weeks.  But, I will give him the benefit of the doubt.  The guy doesn't take insurance - of course.  And even more nonsensical, they don't take credit cards.  Excuse me, what?  So Husband has to run to the ATM and take out $650 in CASH to pay the doctor.  It felt like some sort of very illicit transaction. We clearly reek of desperation.  

So today I'm looking at the invoice to submit to insurance and I see the diagnosis section.  

1.  Pelvic Pain.  (ok, this is fine)

2.  Anxiety.  (excuse me?!?!?!!?!?)

3.  Hyperthyroidism. (this is just a theory buddy but ok)

The anxiety thing really made me mad.  Am I frustrated?  Yes.  Am I annoyed with most of the previous 45 doctor visits?  Yes.  If you were in pain all the time with no answers, you would be too.  Am I some anxious crazy cat lady that needs to be put down?  No.  And that is how I take the word "anxiety."  I think it's insulting to even put that on my diagnosis section like it's something that needs to be addressed right up there with the pelvic pain.    

Little did I know what was to come from my next doctor visit.
