For those in need

MR LOBENDHAM, doctors are there to provide a medical service to people that require it.

I have never been a fan of the fees doctors charge for their services.

Now you want to charge the most needy people an unreasonable fee to provide a service they need the most?

Medical services are not about making huge (or expensive) profits, but providing a service to those who need it.

If money is the key to provide medical services, God help us all.

If people decline your service because of your unreasonable fees, you lose more than you targeted.

Bulk bill nursing home people and provide a service needed instead of trying to make money from the people that need it the most.

Dean Cook,

Willaston
