Laser Treatment

Brought Bryan for his medical appointment to remove a lesion on his eye-brow. It started out as a pimple but had somehow became this weird growth that looked like a viral wart. Now it has to be lasered off. And the doctor suggested a biopsy on the growth to ensure there's no other underlying problem.
The trip set me back by $984.00... $600 for the laser treatment, $150 for consultation, $160 for the biopsy & $12 for the medication plus GST. Should have just squeezed out the pimple back then. It would probably be cheaper if I had gone to a polyclinic and get a referral to say National Skin Centre or someplace. But I got this referral from a GP to this plastic surgeon. Expensive but must say he did a good job. He didn't even singe a single hair in his eyebrow.
This surgeon said I could claim medical insurance. I have insurances for the kids but can't remember if I had included a medical cover. Oh well.
