What really grinds my gears is that the hospital I work at is always full, and a large percentage of the patients are frequent flyers with no actual medical problems. They take up a bed that could've been used for someone who needs legitimate medical attention.

We have to admit then and order expensive tests that we know will negative, because they were negative the last 20 times they were admitted. Then they never actually pay their bills, because of course they don't, so the cost is distributed to everyone else.

I would think the opposite would be just as much of a problem (If not worse) - where people don't come in until its too late because they are afraid of the bill.

Nearly all of your patients are not trained in medicine so how are they supposed to know exactly when to come in?
