Whether or not it's a "seasonal" thing I do not know. All I know is...it didn't happen in previous years so be a judge yourself.

Thanks to everyone who is sharing their experiences with their favorite doctors. It will help everyone to get this information out to all. Need to know the bad ones too.

Patches,

Unless this story is corroborated - it is still a rumor. You know your source, but we don't.

V'07 is a thoughtful, pragmatic poster - and I believe she did read your e-mail as did Muncie.

It takes a lot to understand the way hospitals charge due to our convoluted health care system in this country - don't jump on me on this - both political parties agree it is broken. One price if you have insurance, a different one of you don't. Like many businesses, you make money on one service; another you just break even. That is not unique to the hospital here.
