Exhorbitant charge from The Drain/Electro Surgeon

Electro surgeon were good on getting someone out promptly. I showed him the problem correctly and he finished the job promptly. All good? I received the bill and was astounded. The job took him less than 30 minutes and I was charged R 1 477.75. No parts were required As a comparison I went to my doctor and for a consultation it cost me R 440.00. This means I was charged more than three and a half times what a medical doctor charges. Maybe I should have noticed the word Surgeon in their name. Never again.
