Guest guest Posted May 25, 2005 Report Share Posted May 25, 2005 chuckle, I remember once, I was on commision, took my lunch hour and my two breaks to make a doctors appointment. I was the first appointment of the afternoon. I saw him pull into the parking area just before I did. I must have sat in the waiting room for an hour before I got up and told the receptionist that I would be sending the Doctor a bill for my wasted hour. She blanched and went scurring off to the back of the office. I was at my car when she caught up with me to tell me that the doctor could see me now...I just looked at her and told her that I couldn't see the doctor now as my next appointment was waiting...When I got home, I sat down and wrote up a very professional bill, charging the doctor for my time and sent it off to him... Would you believe it, he paid it with a personal check and a written apology. I never went back to him, however, I heard that he rarely keeps people waiting now.

Guest guest Posted May 25, 2005 Report Share Posted May 25, 2005 I LOVE IT!!!!! Way to go, Gossimer!!!! I've walked out, refusing to pay co-pays and refusing to make another appointment. AND being VERY VOCAL as I march through the waiting room as to why I'm not paying anything, why I'm not coming back, and why I'm notifying my insurance company that they should not being paying for a bogus office visit. I've also made scenes in waiting rooms when they had me scheduled to see the doc that blew me off when I was in storm..... letting everyone in the waiting room know what a jerk/incompetent he is....

Guest guest Posted May 28, 2005 Report Share Posted May 28, 2005 Yep, and he should be made to feel the winter, as in buried under an icecap somewhere. Re: Re: Vitamins Question He's a jerk.... your the paying customer and he blew you off, scheduled appointment, to talk to sales reps.... does that tell you what his priorities are??? Find a new one.. and tell this one why he's fired... *quietly stepping off soap box* Topper () On Wed, 25 May 2005 07:33:05 -0700 (PDT) Carol writes: He didn't tell me, but I'll look when I get home. When he was asking me my symptoms, I told him, I was always so cold...his comment....its been a cold winter...sorry, I don't live outside..and I do have heat in my house, car and office. When I told him, I was putting on so much weight, he told me to go out and start exercising. I told him, before all this happened, I was running 5 miles a day. I was sleeping so much, I did stop running....he said, well there you go, you stopped, that's the weight issue solved! This endo kept me waiting for an hr. past the apt, so he could meet with the drug reps! Even before his stupid comments, I knew I wasn't going back there.
