Some AMEs just hold a mirror up to the mouth. If it mists up your OK. If not
your dead. A bit like how a girl I knew chose her boyfriends.

Nope, as long as you can sign the check for their fee, you're considered OK.

I only had one AME that required the payment BEFORE the exam. I should have
realized it as a warning. He was such a *******, I suspect a lot of his patients
run out on him before the exam is done.
