| Bill Your Doctor (Take 2)
Have you ever sat in a clinic waiting room long after the time of your appointment passed?
Once you were brought into an exam room; weighed, vitaled and questioned. Have you sat for who knows how long, waiting to be seen by the doctor?
Has the doctor's staff members explained the long wait by saying something like, "The doctor is running a little behind today."
On the other hand, have you been late or missed an appointment, then been billed by your doctor because, "that time could have been filled by someone else."??
So, why is the doctor's time more valuable than your time? Why are we supposed to just "understand" when the doctor is running late, but if you are, well they don't understand... in fact, they are willing to accept payment for services not rendered.
So, turn about being fair play...
BILL YOUR DOCTOR!
If you are forced to wait more than a reasonable time for an appointment you both agreed to... Bill them!
Please, can someone explain the difference? |
