A Battle of Wits and Healthcare
So, our protagonist found themselves in a sticky situation, where they were being charged for an appointment they never knew about, let alone agreed to. After trying to reason with the doctor’s office, the staff got nasty and threatened to send the bill to collections. Not one to back down, our protagonist threatened to report them for fraudulent charges. Eventually, the doctor decided not to charge them for the appointment. But when they shared the story with their mom, she thought they were being a Karen and should have just paid. ♀️ What do you think? Was our protagonist right to stand their ground, or should they have just paid the bill? Let’s see what the internet has to say about this situation…
