Dr. Referral Becomes Dr. Yeeeooow

This morning, I called Dr. Referral's office. His office assistant was pleasant, professional, and asked me some questions.

I was given an appointment and then she told me:

"Dr. Referral does not take insurance and expects payment at the time of treatment. You will submit the information to your own insurance company. The first appointment is one week's unemployment claim."

What? What! What? No, she didn't say that about the unemployment claim, but that's how much it is. One quarter of my monthly income. Dr. Referral instantly became Dr. Yeeeooow.

Yes, I can probably get most of it back from my insurance company, but good grief, that's a lot of money. Even if Mr. Visa is footing the bill.

All I can say is, Dr. Yeeeooow better be Dr. Brilliant.
