Went to the doc today and she was like, here’s your bc prescription and your shots, see you in a year” and I was like “but no exam?” and “shouldn’t I lose some weight?” and she was like “what no, you’re perfectly healthy?” and fam, I genuinely love Australia and I’m sorry I have US healthcare trauma

Insurance.

Money.
