EDIT: Found a bit more info elsewhere. 10,000 euros, VAT included. It is not too bad.

I asked my office manager and she seems to think this is pretty much standard operating procedure for the 21st century.
Any thoughts or feedback?
I told the patient I am sorry about the situation and respect his decision if he wants to get his care elsewhere. He was pretty firm about how he felt.

Time to crack a beer and (prolly) swear at my computer as I upgrade things a bit.
I didn't realize that my current ssd was only 240gb and that I didn't have much room left on it, so I decided to get a newer, faster, more spacious model.
1TB on this little thing. Crazy.

It’s been 40 years since I started my career so I don’t recollect, but knowing Ma Bell, whom usually spared no expense on its employees, we prolly started medical immediately. Nowadays, those penny-pinching bastids at Verizon probably have a similar 60 day or even longer waiting period.

Shocked! Shocked!!
Some friends are down for part of the winter, with their road bikes. We chit chatted a little bit, until it came out that they were familiar with neither the term 'brifters' nor 'not bibs'. What other terms don't they know? I thought that ALL american cyclists would know these things. I see I've been led down the garden path.....
