Professional practices, was "pay you later"

[David Ilvedson]

Exactly.   My dentist has his "people" get my money.   I will say for a time they gave a 5% discount for payment at the time of the work, now no discount and payment due...

Mine too.  But it is never the doctor collecting the money, their "people" handle that.

I gotta say David, that in most every doctor's office I've been in, I see a sign right there at the receptionist's window: "Payment for services is due when services are rendered...."

Would you like to be treated like a doctor, or a lawyer, or a skilled artisan?





Or would you like to be treated like a day worker, or a cable installer, or a shade-tree mechanic? 





In the first group, the work, and the atmosphere surrounding the work, is the focus; actual money exchange happens later.





In the second group, the focus is on getting the check.
