Re: Gotta Love Florida -- They Goof, You Pay!
I honestly think this is fairly common practice. I received some surgery last year and had a temporary drain inserted that was supposed to be removed once the dissolving stitches dissolved. Well, they apparently used a real stitch, and I had to go back in for ambulatory surgery to remove the stitch (which was internal). I got a bill form the doctor, the hospital and the anesthesiologist. All without even an apology. The insurance company paid and I am still paying off my share of the expense.
I can't think of another industry where this would be an acceptable practice.
