'Send them a bill for $150': Patient gets threatened with $150 appointment cancelation fee for attempting to reschedule within 48 hours; doctor bails on him 20 minutes before they are supposed to meet

There are surprise fees for just about everything these days, but the last proprietor you would expect to be dubious is your doctor.

It's usually the insurance companies that get a bad reputation for shadiness, but in our next story, one patient actually deals with a sketchy doctor's office, confirming that not all doctors are the good guys.
