2. Patient evaluations and assessments/recommendations carry a service fee of 25 dollars. That fee is forgiven if the banjo enters into treatment at the Little Bear Banjo Hospital.
3. Following a preliminary examination, and a mutual decision to commit the patient for overnight observation, Little Bear Banjo Hospital will undertake a vigorous examination of the banjo. The hospital will provide a receipt containing an inventory of parts, an appraisal of the banjo's health problem, and several alternative treatments plus a recommended course of action.
4. The recommended course of action will include estimates for the procedure(s) to be undertaken by The Hospital, and the costs of parts and labor.
5. We will be frank and direct in offering our prognosis. We will be prepared to offer access to case histories of similar banjo health situations, and before and after photographs of prior patients (within the parameters of patients' right to confidentiality).
6. The Little Bear Banjo Hospital will provide an estimated date of completion of the recommended course of action, and commit to keeping the next of kin updated regularly. No additional procedures will be undertaken without prior consultation.
7. The Little Bear Banjo Hospital aggressively pursues after care evaluations and will contact the banjo owner within a week following discharge to seek a report on the health and well being of the banjo.
