I'm sorry this happened to you. Sometimes doctors seem to be focused on the wrong thing when you go into see them. I know that I've been overcharged several times going in to see what's wrong (so bad in fact, my mom stops taking me if something is wrong!) so I know how frustrated you must be. I'm going into college and there's an on-campus nurse that provides basic check-ups and booster shots for free (yes they're very qualified it's just that tuition covers it) as well as discounts on prescription medication and x-rays. You may want to look into something similar to that (or just a cheaper doctor) to see if you're available for anything that could help you save some extra cash. Good luck!
