Over on the community blog, mland45 recounts an experience she had when she went to an ear, nose and throat doctor to get treated for a sinus infection:

[Receptionist]: The insurance doesn’t pay for the rhinoplasty
Me: Well, I’m not interested in the rhinoplasty.
[Receptionist]: You sure? Because your nose is crooked.
Me: I know, but I’m not worried about that.
[Receptionist]: Well let me explain why I’m telling you this. It’s such a good price, because you’ll already be paying for the anesthesia for the other surgery. It is such a good deal.
Me: Well, since I was never considering cosmetic surgery in the first place, it’s not a good deal to me. I never had a serious problem with my nose, but by the time I leave this office I will have a COMPLEX about it.

How infuriating is that? Read the rest here.
