Well, apricot and Wayne, I think the better part of valor would simply not be to charge. If I look at myself carefully, I would probably do it more as a passive-aggressive thing than to recoup the costs of the money.
Boy, I read a NY Times Union Blog followed by comments of patients, lawyers and other doctors that made my blood boil. I should share it on the forum. Opinions are great, but there is nothing worse than opinions which come from groups of people such as attorneys that really don't understand the complexities of the physician-patient relationship. I wanted to comment, but it was closed after hundreds of comments.
