Naive lol,” she writes in a text overlay on the video.
She continues: “And when you press it, it asks you a few questions: If you’re sick, [with] “Let’s say you have strep or sinusitis? You go there and they’ll diagnose your symptoms and send you medicine to your home or the nearest pharmacy. It costs about $29. Did you know that? I didn’t know that either.”
