I am a little hesitent to post this because I don't want anything to come back and bite someone in the ass - but...

When I'm aware I've received bad service from a doctor, I refuse to pay the bill. I usually write them a letter explaining the circumstances and will take it as far as necessary. I have done this 5 times, twice to a hospital and three to private doctors.

If I'm paying for a service, which I not only don't receive but am left in worse condition than when I started, I don't pay. I should also mention that most times a doctor will not agree with your assessment lest they be sued for malpractice.

I just as easily applaud and remark on exceptional service. For any of you who were dismissed or pushed aside, treated callously with very obviously wrong diagnosis, speak up. No one else will so blow your own horn.
