Mary: "Hi, can I help you?"
Guy: "Yeah, I want to know if I need an MRI?"
Mary: "Let me look up your chart. When did you see Dr. Grumpy?"
Guy: "I've never seen him. I just want to know if I need an MRI?"
Mary: "I really can't say, sir. I'm not a doctor, but..."
Guy: "I have this neck pain, and my right hand feels numb. So does that need an MRI?"
Mary: "...but I can set you up with an appointment to see the doctor to discuss this. We have an opening Thursday afternoon at 2:30."
Guy: "I don't want to come in. I just want to know if I need an MRI, and if so, to get one."
Mary: "I can't answer that, sir, and the doctor would need to evaluate you before deciding what's needed."
Guy: "You people are just in it for the money."
Leaves and slams door.

Wow! Good thing Mary didn't tell him how much an MRI cost.
Then he'd have gone ballastic in your office.
Nothing like a good ol' self-referral.
Maybe someone will get on that "DIY MRI" bandwagon...not!
Lets hope the silly man doesn't need an MRI...!
Well, he's not ALL wrong. You do charge people. I think he's looking for the Free Clinic.
That will be 35 dollars.
*sigh* Hope he's OK.
An MRI addict. Who knew?
Happy Admin Day to Mary. I swear she needs a raise, a company-paid weekly mani/pedi/massage and a new car for working in this office.
Geez... some people just want to shell out $5000 for the heck of it.
I hope he had a stroke the minute he walked out the door!
Well duh...I mean, isn't compensation the reason the vast majority of us have a job?
All he needs is a reality check.
Who did he think was going to read the MRI and diagnose him?
