I go to the doctor with one of those colds that just won't go away. I finally get to see the doctor. In five minutes he decides what is wrong writes a prescription and ushers me out to reception to cough up $75.00 for the visit. I pay the bill and head out to the truck to go home.
Next thing I hear him yelling to hold up a minute, he has a little widget in his hands and asks me if I can make this and how much it would cost. I thoughtfully look at his part, reach for the calculator and let my fingers do the walking. I tell him it is going to take four hours plus materials, so how much he asks. I smile and say $3800.00 and 200.00 of that is materials. I get this big eyed look from him and he says why so much. I smile once again and say thats the going rate when I have to pay 75.00 for 5 minutes of your time. He was not amused, but then again neither was I.
