Why do doctors get paid so much?

Today was another one of my Doctor visits with my obgyn. I don't understand why they get paid so much! All he did was come in, ask me how I am feeling, measured my belly and found the heart beat of the baby. I guess if I was at high risk I would feel a little different about doctors, but right now I think they are over rated. :) (That's partly a joke)
I have many doctor apts. I have to go see my thyroid doctor every month, and a week before seeing him I have to have my blood taken. Which to me that's the same as going to see a doctor. Then, I went to the dentist last week for a check up (because all the books say to do so) and I have to go back on Thursday for my cleaning. Then on Monday I went to the vision doctor to see if my prescription has changed, because of the horrible headaches I have been getting. Come to find out I have chronic dry eye. Not to serious, moderate is what he said. But I guess when my eyes dry out I strain them because my vision gets worse as they dry out. While I was there I also got contacts for the first time. What a trip that was, trying to put contacts in for the first time. I was there for 1 hour trying to put them in!
So, as you can tell my life is filled up with doctors apts. Can anyone say cha ching $$$. We have really good insurance that covers dental, vision, and exams but we already have accumulated $2,000 in medical bills!!! (that's after the insurance) AND we are only 17 weeks pregnant! I hope it gets better from here.
I have been feeling really good. I did get sick a couple times in last couple of weeks but it was nothing major. The biggest battle I am fitting is my sinuses. I have always had sinus problems but lately they are a lot worse and causing some horrible headaches. And what sucks is there is nothing I can do about it. My doctor told me today to take Tylenol, but anyone who's had a bad headache knows that Tylenol doesn't even touch it. So I have proceeded to spending a lot of money on nasal cleansing methods and sprays, but for me its not working very well.

Next Friday is the big apt and I cant wait. Time is going by so slow!
I am not feeling much of the baby. I cant tell if its gas or baby. I let you know when I have that first kick that you can see from the outside. I think that wont happen for another 4-5 weeks but I will keep you updated.
Well that's all for now, I'll let you know if anything else new happens.....
