Dentist screwing us

Grrrr....Remember Cian had crowns and extensive oral surgery over the summer, well the friggin' dentist neglected to mention she wasn't a preferred provider, just a cryptic "we taek your insurance!" So now after shelling out $1000, they want an additional $795. Thiis on the tails of the insurance in Md reneiging on Cian's speech therapy and owing them $1300. Meanwhile we are trying to keep our financial heads above water and not miss a mortgage payment.I did cut up all the credit cards I could (kept my lowest limit one). But where the hell do I fing $795 right now; I'm not sure how to cover this month;'s groceries????

I am tempted to say youy can have $500 now and then go away or esle you will get $50 a month for the next 15 months. In any case there will be a stern letter to the dentist about them misrepresenting themselves, whether intentional or not, it really has disappointed me, and makes me so nervous about medical professionals in general. They say one theng, grab your cash and then run.

Sigh
