I'm not sure why you think I want to argue, it's a simple question of what you were expecting to pay. When people complain a fee is too high, they can rarely come up with a reasonable alternative fee for some reason. This is often because they don't know what's actually involved. When I have patients try to convince me to do something I don't want to do or take an unusual risk such as taking responsibility for someone else's work, I often double my fee. They will either go elsewhere, or they pay it. Either result is acceptable.

Also, for about 30 bucks you could get your own screwdriver to install the implant. It's just a single screw.

And that may be what he did. I would have gladly paid him $150. But it didn't make a good impression because he knows I don't have a lot of money. And since all he needed was a screwdriver as you say, its not a good look.
