Steve and docjoeknee (Carroll?),
Disagreements happen. We all know that. Does either one of you think I honestly am going to get on a public forum for the sole purpose of insulting someone? Of course not.
It's true that in my travels I have dealt with offices that were clearly plush with cash but wanted me to get them the cheapest P. O. S. I could find to run their company. And, of course, when whatever piece of crap I obtained for them breaks, they demand to know why it wouldn't run like a well tuned Cadillac.
However, it's also true that I have worked with doctors just like you. People in small solo practices in poor areas that are at the absolute mercy of Medicare and/or Medicaid. They have patients galore that fail to pay their bills. Despite the office being out in the sticks, the landlord of the building wants to charge inner city rates. Believe me, the list goes on. For doctors like this, I have gone out of my way to help them. I've done free work. I've pulled strings with Dell to get parts replaced even after the warranty period had fallen off. And it doesn't stop there.
As far as my comment about collecting copays goes, I just plain forgot about that law so making that remark was a mistake on my part. My apologies.
I think it would benefit the board greatly if we figured out how to get along.
I'm game if you are.
