Took MIL to the Gov't hospital yesterday - problem with her eyes. Why go there I ask - Because it is free they said.

Sat in the parking lot from just after 0800 until 1430.

Asked what the finding was - Doctor said her eyes were OK.

Then why does she have problems with them ?  No answer.

Should we try another Doctor ? Answer - we have to pay ...

So ... is OK to be blind but have money in the bank ?  Was my reply ...

Blank stare was the response.

Took 15 years but I have had enuf

I always considered my MIL to be their problem. Yet they did manage to get some money out of me for her, when she died ( for the funeral ).

I never bought into the whole "marry the girl and you marry her family ( for your money )", but I never understood that that would doom my marriage in the end.

Man you can't stop mentioning this funeral cost. New year tomorrow perhaps it's time to let it go.

It also works the other way around. Some people never ever visit a "free" hospital because of maybe one not so good experience. Now it always has to be the charging clinic...
