A patient takes exception to her physician’s conceirge fees. “Moreover, upon further reflection, I came to realize that, instead of feeling blackmailed by this unexpected surcharge for services I thought I was already paying for, what I really should be doing is following my doctor’s lead.
And so, like the doctor, I will begin collecting fees each fall for the coming year, from just about everybody with whom I interact.”
If you’re not happy with this, you can simply change physicians.
