I was told that I should get bloodwork done because I reported having occasional lightheadedness. I was NOT told that I would be charged 4k$ for this bloodwork, 3k$ of which I was responsible from my own pocket! On top of that, the bloodwork was inconclusive. 

I would have preferred to be recommended some homeopathic cure, which is common in that clinic. Though I'm not sure if the placebo effect works on people who don't believe in homeopathy.
