    I really hope you are not serious. I'm sure the hospital bill will be more than enough!!Hope everything goes well for you.

    I work at a surgeons office....no tipping going on here! :laugh: Patients are always bringing in some other type of "gift." Be it food, something they made, etc.

    Well then perhaps dude should have stated where he was that this is common practice. Quite bizarre if you ask me!

    how do you feel about tipping the garbageperson?

    Who tips the garbage company?!

    I tip the garbage person at Christmas with a gift card in a card on top of the garbage can, and they're always happy! And my trash bins are always taken care of :) I also give the mail man a gift card.

    I have never heard of tipping a surgeon. Should I tip my dentist, too?

    If I had "A" garbage person and "A" mail carrier like we did back in the day when you saw the same person daily/weekly....I would tip that PERSON. However, its whomever shows up nowadays so no....I'm not tipping a general service company.

    Since I work for Orthopedic surgeons... If you are happy with the office, the way the surgery came out, etc. Say thanks! that is what they want to hear most of all. If your hip is totally screwy and he/she does an amazing job, bring the office some cookies or fruit, or bring the doc a bottle of wine, but that is really unnecessary.
    The best thing you can do is tell your friends, family about how well everything went, and go on-line post a positive review in Google, etc.

    I used to tip them by letting them keep all the bits they cut off...

    In retrospect, this was a bad idea.

    If your surgeon happens to be a Rabbi and your surgery happens to be a circumcision, you don't have to determine the size of the tip; He will.
