Hi Vanessa
Yes, we just said there was no way we could afford $1600 and can they help people who are having financial difficulty. I wish I had thought to ask the same question of my surgeon when charged a spurious $600 booking fee on top of all the usual charges!
But we have spent more than $600 I think on radio because that didn't include the initial consultation apparently. Next time I would be bolder and ask re bulk billing.
Good luck!
Sam - yes that sounds like a great idea, will help the next lot of ladies coming through!
