Ah .. don't worry Carl ..
I'm more devious than that …
I think she realised that she'd lost it and ever since, she's bulk-billed Medicare and, despite the occasional 'normal specialist fees', the most she normally charges me is twenty dollars (for the biopsies). These $20 procedures also include local anaesthetics/stitches/cryo, etc and return visits .. so I'm way ahead, financially !!!
Just goes to show how a little moderation (on my part) has probably saved me thousands !
Mind you, it also shows how arbitrary their fees are, too !!
Cheers
