I mean, if there was ever a classic argument for tipping, i would have thought your doctor was at the top of the list ;)

Waiters at fine restaurants are underpaid?
Bellboys at five-star hotels are starving to death?

Heck, pizza delivery boys make more money than I do. Should I get tips?

yeah...why the hell would you want to?

well, by the logic that your tipping allows you to get the best possible, and cheapest, service, i would have thought your health would be the most important to you, hence the doctor the most important person to tip...by the same token, i'd be tipping my accountant too ;)

I've never heard of tipping a doctor but the generalization that doctors make too much money is frustrating to me, there are WAY too many doctors that make WAY too little money.
