The solution to such a problem is pretty simple (and what they've done in Holland): Force everything to go through a single General Practitioner (of their choosing). This makes it a lot more difficult for hypochondriacs to needlessly exhau

I must say that while I agree, I think that in this situation you (or your company) greatly profited from the bad planning of your client. Put another way: your client also paid a lot of money for their jumping-the-gun, but I'm sure this wa
