Respect.
Dr. Alan Himmel
Two Things:
1. Patients: Why is respect such a difficult thing for people? I mean is it too much to ask, that if you cannot make it to an appointment, you call and let the office know? It takes 30 seconds out of your day. Thats it. Its just basic consideration.
2. Lawyers: Again, respect. Its not okay to divert your client away from their treating doctor. You do not hold a license to practice any kind of medicine. By making referrals to a health care provider, you are practicing medicine without a license. You can try any type of lawyering to try and convince me otherwise, but you are wasting your time.
