Wrong trade

I think I might be in the wrong trade.
Just returning to Roma from Bris Vegas seeing a specialist and he charged me $300 for a 25 minute consult..... Ouch!
Tell me is a specialist someone who failed all of the medical exams except 1?

I like the average Joe hates paying specialist bills,but thay do have lots of overheads.
I have just gone through a 45kg gas bottle in just a month, which normally takes five months for someone to come out to check to see if it is mine or the gas companies fault is going to cost $135.00 and $85.00 an hour after the first quarter of an hour.
I don't pay if they find out is the gas companies fault IE. not full gas bottle
So when you look at that the medical bill is not so bad

The reason they are called specialists, is because their prices are so special and only special people can afford them!!!

How often have you been cured or even significantly ailed by a specialist? Bet a LOT of silent people thinking hell no.
