Larry,
Ahem, I didn't comment on anyone's profession or vocation. And whomever said
that there was a 200% markup is off. We have NO markup. No dentist no
physician, nor accountant does. As professionals we trade our knowledge,
training, experience, judgement and compassion for money (the whole bringing a
chicken or carrying water thing wasn't working out).
I don't sell anything. I treat patients.
It is unfortunate that your first wife worked for someone who she, as a
non-professional, determined was doing something unprofessional. Did she call
the state board? Did she quit her job in protest? I'm just saying...
Oh, and no, my claims aren't rejected. I did have to explain to several
patients why their insurance company considers a routine procedure
"experimental" when it has been around for as long as our cars...
Jay,
I'm not prejudging, I stated fact. And I don't think Ryan had intentions of
cheating the insurance out of money for rust repair. That wouldn't be cricket
