and apparently in this case, the absolute arrogance of an SOB who would walk in to a hospital room unannounced, uninvited, look at something personal like your X-ray, and not even introduce himself or explain WTF he's doing there.


This must be common because I had surgery and my GP who had nothing at all to do with my surgery did this. He didn't even walk in. After I got the $350 bill, I inquired. I was told because he was my GP and that was his hospital he was suppose to do this. He read my chart and didn't even lay eyes on me or my incision.

It has happened twice before, but they were in situations where I knew insurance would cover it. I was too much of a non-confrontational pussy to say anything, and it is a sad situation where I need to be angry that a doctor walked in.

I suppose that's really unnecessary info to the OP. I don't mind getting extra eyeballs on our diagnostic, although I think my doctor had it covered, and it was not mentioned as part of the fee schedule. It wasn't thousands of dollars, so that's good.

I am mostly concerned about getting stung on the credit report because we plan on buying a new car in a year and buying a new home in 1-3 years.
