I'm starting to understand why I'm still driving the old Toyota.
The extra lab fee might be a couple of hundred dollars tops. How does
the dentist justify jacking the fee up by $800? And $2000 after
insurance--I shudder to think what the full fee is!
This might be a normal fee in Manhattan, but I'm not sure even about that.
