I would phone this doctor's office and tell them that you will not be paying for the office visit. When you made your appointment it was with the belief that you were going to receive medical treatment which you did not. Tell them that if they have any problems with that they should contact your insurance company. When you make an appointment with a physician you should be thoroughly examined.....there is no saying what could be wrong. What if you had an obstruction? You could have died. Thank heavens you didn't....but we need to stand up to the inadequate care we are receiving and where else will they notice it but in their pocketbooks. I would also contact my insurance company....after your chat with the clinic...and let them know of the inadequate care you received. Tell them that you have told them you do not want to pay for the bill....of course leave the door open for the possibility of the clinic fighting it.
