All this fuss over a battery. |
Bad analogy because, unlike an oil change and key fob battery, which are 2 different things, a battery-less pacemaker doesn't work, you can't have one without the other.
A better medical analogy would be while you were under anesthesia for pacemaker implant they, without your consent, decided to give you hair implants as well because they decided it's needed - and then charged you for it.
I agree with the majority that (at least here in North America), you should not be charged for a service without prior consent, regardless of cost.
