> And you want me to pay for their trouble? You're a big asshole.

Hey, yeah! Give 'em hell, Mike!!! Sue the bastards!

While you're sticking it to 'em, don't forget the other "special needs"
people out there.  You mustn't be selfish like those sleazy doctors you're
suing, right?

I don't see well enough to drive, so obviously a doctor should provide
transportation for me while s/he is providing an interpreter for you! What
about non-English speakers? Let's see, the two most common "second
languages" in the US are Spanish and Ebonics.  Any decent doctor should
provide interpreters for those at least.  But, French and German are common,
and don't forget all the Vietnamese who've immigrated.  There are quite a
few Chinese as well.

But, what about physical accomodations? There should be smaller chairs in
the waiting rooms for the vertically challenged, wider chairs for the
calorically gifted, and the office should be open late for the insomniacs.
There should always be food available for the diabetics.  Surely I've
forgotten somebody.  Oh, yes, the doctor should be responsible for calling
Alzheimer patients so they don't forget their appointments.

You go get 'em, guy, and when you're done America will be a great place for
medical care for all of us no matter what "challenge" we might have!
