CORRECT!

The wife "came out of his office shaking" even though she never saw him!

Oh boy. What a STORY!

quote

I saw her come out of his office, pale
as a sheet, sweating, shaking from head
to toe like she'd just been beaten stupid;
there was no way this man could not have
seen what she was going through.

*****************************************************

Mostly he was just scamming her. He insisted on doing the root canal in
two seperate visits instead of in the normal one, and insisted that each
visit charge be well over one thousand dollars - despite the fact that
she was begging him (literally) to do it in one shot; she's deathly
scared of dentists. He didn't even bother to give (or make up) a reason
as to why it must be in two stages,even as she asked why, except insofar
as "Because I like it that way." I saw her come out of his office, pale
as a sheet, sweating, shaking from head to toe like she'd just been
beaten stupid; there was no way this man could not have seen what she
was going through. To disregard it, without even the slightest attempts
at, at the least, courtesy... well, it's a pity that /something/ can't
be done about him, even though I'm well aware that minor things like
that are rather beyond the scope of any ADA ethics board.

Truth be told, she's not going to have him punished in any great
measure, and she knows it - but she wants to make him shake in his boots
some, for being a quite literal sadist towards her. Being an attorney,
she's quite used to clients busting her balls that way, though she
doesn't deserve it.

Frankly, this prick does. There's a certain callousness that should not
be tolerated in any healthcare worker.

What's the billing code for that, I forget.

I know some billing codes that cause that. Usually codes with four or
five-figure fees attached to 'em.
