Larry,

Ahem, I didn't comment on anyone's profession or vocation.  And whomever said
that there was a 200% markup is off.  We have NO markup.  No dentist no
physician, nor accountant does.  As professionals we trade our knowledge,
training, experience, judgement and compassion for money (the whole bringing a
chicken or carrying water thing wasn't working out).

I don't sell anything.  I treat patients.

It is unfortunate that your first wife worked for someone who she, as a
non-professional, determined was doing something unprofessional.  Did she call
the state board?  Did she quit her job in protest?  I'm just saying...

Oh, and no, my claims aren't rejected.  I did have to explain to several
patients why their insurance company considers a routine procedure
"experimental" when it has been around for as long as our cars...

Jay,

I'm not prejudging, I stated fact.  And I don't think Ryan had intentions of
cheating the insurance out of money for rust repair.  That wouldn't be cricket
