Adam Curry Health Update and Medical Clinic Experience
Adam Curry describes his recent health struggles with a severe cough and an eye infection attributed to cedar pollen in Austin, Texas. He details his experience visiting a walk-in clinic as a "self-pay" patient without health insurance, noting the efficiency and lower costs compared to insurance-based billing. The physician prescribed penicillin and advised against expensive eye drops, resulting in a total cost of $169 instead of a much higher deductible-based fee.
