I hate them, Tom. Not that that does you any practical good, but my white-hot hatred is all I have to offer at the moment.
But, damn. That's supreme weaselfuckery on their part.
Now, this would be the perfect time for a swear word.

See? I gave everybody here an opportunity to tell me what a bad person I am and nobody did, because I fuckin' rule.

Wait, is this real-world child support, where the money goes to buy food for the kids, or MRA fantasyland child support where the women just buy Ferraris and cocaine? -Jessica

I’d be lying if I didn’t say that I miss them all tonight…
Also, I don't know the ways of your insurance, but that sounds really bizarre.
WORD.

Shit's all sorts of different now.
I would have grabbed a pebble on the way back from the ATM and then thrown it at her when I got back in the office saying, "That came out."

In cash? I've never had to pay any doctor's office in cash. There's no excuse for that, particularly since credit cards can now be verified almost instantly. The desire for cash indicates to me 1) a drug habit, 2) hiding assets from the IRS, or 3) receptionist is skimming.
I'm afraid the first thought that went through my head was "Cash? Are urologists stiffed that often?"
You have an extremely painful condition, and I think you've been treated shamefully.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.
add me to the WTFing, Tom. That's just wrong.

Cats to become a rabbit should gather immediately now here
That is so strange-- cash? Half the time people don't even want to take cash-- it is credit cards only!
Also, I have never had to pay up front at a doctor's office.
I think the receptionist is skimming.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
That's ridiculous, Tom! I've had to pay my deductible up front before expensive procedures, but they took a check. Sending you out to find an ATM while you're in such pain, and then giving your appointment away, is terribly horribly wrong.

Yeah, I'd be asking for a receipt. Of course, I get hopelessly confused by billing everytime I visit a doctor. Copay? OK. Then I get a bill. Or a statement. It isn't clear which, the math on it is seriously whack, and it is from the doctor's office. I opted to ignore them and no collections agency has come after me yet, and one of my friends is still speaking to me (doctor was her cousin) and I've not been blacklisted from repeated visits so I think I'm ok?
