Set up an appointment with a new pain therapist. At the end of our intake call, I asked, "Hey, just to be clear, there's no binding arbitration waiver in your paperwork, right?"
That was 3 days ago. I was just getting ready to drive over and he texted me this, then called me and told me he wouldn't treat me because being asked about his paperwork "made him uncomfortable."
I guess from now on I just go to the first appointment, read the paperwork and if it's objectionable, cancel and walk out?
