OK two complete business days are passed since the operation. You better have the replacement parts ready this Saturday. If not, as I'm sure you will find if you read the fine print in your HMO documentation, we get to charge more and higher fees, none of which are reimbursable and don't even count toward your deductible. In fact, if the moon phase has changed since the operation, (it has) the previous doctors may not be on your plan anymore and the entire operation will have to be repeated (maybe twice) at your expense.
