I HAD an appointment for a consult!!!!!

OK, I am a little peeved right now and need to vent!! I got a packet in the mail today with a nice little note telling me that my appt. for Monday the 5th of April was cancelled cause I need to fill out all this info and send them a clinical fee of $150 that is non-refundable just for them to think about it and then they will call me IF they are willing to check into doing my revision!!! I don't mind being a trick pony and jumping thru any hoops they wish to throw at me, BUT why should I have to pay the $150 just for them to THINK about it???? Even if they give me a consult, it still doesn't mean they will take my case, according to the letter, but the $150 MUST be paid up front!!! OK, deep breath!!!!!!!!!! Now I am done venting!! That $150 isn't near as bad as some of the bad diet food, rubberband exercise junk and "diet pills" that I have shelled out money on in the past with NO guarantee that they would work. Ok, sorry for that but I needed to do it!! Thanks for putting up with my bit*hing today!! Patty
