[QUOTE="DDD, post: 565843, member: 35"] My husband has had a clogged ear which turned into a problem today...on a weekend. I encouraged him to go to the ER because it seemed prudent (no reason to bore you guys with details) and he did so...much to my surprise. The bottom line is that after being treated by the MD in the ER he was given three Rx's. One was an Rx for an anticiotic liquid ointment for his ear. Ready, guys??? He went to a chain pharmacy because our usual pharmacy closes at noon on Saturday. That ONE Rx. cost almost $230 out of pocket and we have outstanding supplemental insurance with our Medicare. How scarey is that? Sadly we have to watch our expenses but with-o a little cushion he could easily have ended up with a mega infection and who knows what long term effects. My heart breaks for the ?# of people who are less fortunate than are. It's scarey. If I had been the patient I would have had them call the MD to see which otic product was similar and approved but husband is not like that. Good Grief! I still can't believe it. Whine. DDD [/QUOTE]
