Ok, you are at the doctor's office, informed you had a heart attack, doctor calls the ambulance, and then get hounded by the receptionist for your $5.00 co-pay before she would let the ambulance take the patient out on the gurney! 
Is there no common sense here, after all she had breathing tubes in her nose and the receptionist was more concerned over the $5.00 co-pay for the office visit. BD
(NaturalNews) A New York woman who had suffered a heart attack and was being transported to an ambulance on a gurney was stopped by a receptionist who demanded that she pay her $5 co-pay before heading out the door. "You can't even get a book of stamps for that price. I was outraged," said 76-year-old Barbara Antonelli. "It was the most heartless, unthinkable thing to do. They were putting money on top of a person's life."
He called an ambulance so that she could be taken to the hospital for more tests. Antonelli was placed on a gurney, with breathing tubes in her nose and wheeled out of the office.

Let's just hope this is a case of an uneducated receptionist. Plus, I thought they collected the co-pay up front now?
