If I had a dollar for every time I treated a fat person complaining of foot pain, I would be asleep on a beach under a big umbrella right now. I had some fat tub of goo on public assistance that I had to do an amputation on in the office one time, complaining about how expensive healthcare was, doctors get paid so much, blah blah. My wife was working in the office that day, patient had about 300 pounds on her, and she asked how much they thought the doctor got paid for doing their surgery. They think a thousand dollars. No, if you had Medicare he would have gotten $150 for the surgery and that includes 90 days of follow up. Since you are on Medi Cal, he did it for free, which includes all of the follow up for as long as it takes for you to heal.
