Could it be that Senior Citizens are - - - - UNDERDOCTORED?

 Just some observations:   Your doctor may have had a perfect SAT Score, and  earned outstanding accolades in Medical School. How is it then he seems to lack basic medical knowledge in his specialty? Either he is not that smart after all, or he just does not want to expend the fruits of his vast store of medical knowledge on short-term successes.  (I went to medical school to SAVE  lives, long term, not merely to add a few months here and there. 

  Fair Warning. Heads Up.  Pay Attention.  You Will Owe.

For a rather routine procedure, the practice schedules a time not for the procedure, but for a TIME  you will receive a PHONE CAll  to SCHEDULE that procedure. Be there to take the call.

Important notice: FEES 

   The handout the office gives you warns you in 3 different places that there will be a  $!00 Fee if 

              (1) you fail  to show at the scheduled time

                      or

              (2)  you reschedule LESS than 2 business days prior to your scheduled exam

                    or

            (3) you fail to follow the preparation for the exam.

So slink in to your appointment, and be on time, follow all the rules, and be grateful that your care is paramount.
