Sue is a freaking … Sue is a freaking idiot. This isn’t Little House on the Prairie. Bartering worked when docs didn’t have large staff to pay and insure, didn’t have to buy MALPRACTICE INSURANCE, expensive equipment, didn’t have large rent payments, etc. Doc offices cost at least $100,000 to maintain, and that doesn’t count staff pay. No doc can afford to have you pay by painting their house, growing food or baking pies. I am a teacher; what am I going to barter with? Chalk? Paper? Typing?
It is not bigotry to be certain we are right; but it is bigotry to be unable to imagine how we might possibly have gone wrong. -G.K. Chesterton, essayist and novelist (1874-1936)
Negotiation is … Negotiation is different than bartering. Negotiate=agree on a price. Barter=trade. I suppose under the barter system if I don’t have something the Doctor wants I will die.
