How odd.. Stay in business. Humm...

Is that the same as when we had to pay for my wifes spinal thing, they wanted to charge us $3,000 at the hospital. But we got it down to $600, cost of crap and doctors time?

The guy should be sued for trying to charge that much.
all across the nation for the last 20 years, there are doctors (especially obgyn's) that can't practice medicine anymore because they can't afford ever increasing malpractice insurance and don't want the immense financial liability that goes with trying to heal people in the USA.

i actually had a meeting with my attorney and a group of doctors a few years about projects they wanted to do online and stuff they would be interested in investing in. why? why were 10 doctors sitting in a room talking about doing ANYTHING else? because they couldn't afford to be in private practice anymore.

insurance companies don't create that situation. ambulance chasing attorneys do.
