Do you know how I can get that gig?
4 years of Med School
6 years of Residency after Med School
a couple of hundred thousand in debt for the privilege . . .
. . . . . 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.

He walked into my hospital room and started asking me questions about how I was doing.
I asked him, "Who the hell are you?"
He said, "I'm Dr. frickface (not his real name, as Chicken would say) and I'm on the hospital staff."
I said, "Did my surgeon ask for your opinion or ask you to check on me?"
He said, "No, the hospital provides its own doctors to check on patients."
I said, "Have you consulted with my surgeon about my procedure?"
He said, "No."
I said, "So, you know nothing about my medical history? You know nothing about my surgery or the results of my surgery?"
He said, "That's right."
I said, "Well, doc, in that case, you're free to leave. Thanks for stopping by but don't do it again. And I'd better not see a bill from you."
He actually sent a bill for $250 which I wrote to the hospital and the insurance company and said there were no services delivered by the doctor named in the bill. I told them it was a scam bill and shouldn't be paid. I never heard anything further about it.

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.
