Yesterday.....
I worked at the Orthopaedic Office and my doctor has a patient that called. I talked to this man three times for extended periods. The problem seems to be that he came for an appointment back in April and asked the doctor if he could golf and doctor said "yes, if it doesn't hurt you". Well, last week this patient swung his golf club and hit the dirt... a pain shot up his shoulder. So now he is going to sue the doctor because it is his fault due to the fact that the doctor said it was ok to play golf. WOW!!! This patient is demanding free treatment and saying he is not going to pay his bill from April or he will sue. At the end of our conversation, he asked if I was single!

Was he really trying to sue the doctor or trying to speak with you on the phone.....?
If he doesn't pay, maybe he was expecting you to call him back....
Too bad you gave him a bad news?
What a litiginous society in which we live!! What nerve of that guy...Reminds me of a joke, after the patient saw the Dr, he asked if he could play golf. The Dr said of course. The patient said, "Wow, that is amazing because I don't know how to play golf?!"
Maybe he was looking for a way to get out of his bill! And found an excuse?? I think not only would I have told him that I was married , but before that I would of said and if I wasn't, I am not interested, I don't take risks especially if I could be sued! ha!...........Have a Great evening!.....In Christ's Love....Monic
that guy is a nut. Not for asking you if you were single but ya know.
LOL on the single thing! Why are people getting to be so litigious? What a shame!
