Crankin - sounds more like not letting them off the hook than enabling to me. Enabling would mean there were no consequences for not showing up.

Lime - that sucks. Can you tell your doc at the outset that you need a less expensive option? It's not fun to say "i don't have much extra $$ today," but sometimes they will work with you, find sample drugs or something over the counter for that precautionary thing.

Owlie - Hope things get better.

Tulip - wtg!
