Here's a way to save money on your medical expenses -- by getting free drug samples from your doctor. The details from Money magazine:
Drug companies give away tons of samples to physicians, so your doctor may be able to supply you with several weeks' worth of medication at no charge.
My wife does this all the time -- especially for kids' items to fight a cold, etc. Works like a dream.
By the way, the same tip works with your vet too. You can save a ton on Fido's drug costs by asking for free samples there too.
The drug pushers only give the doctor the drugs they are trying to push -- the new and expensive ones. Don't fall for it. Ask about old generics.
