>>"What, did you want me to let her die?"
>>How do I answer that nonsense?

Maybe answer it the same way you answer it when the car mechanic says you need a new steering rack boot unless you want to run off the freeway?

>>Medicare will pay for a clipping every 90 days.

So do you have diabetes with LOPS, or what is the documented justification?

>> When they set the date for my next clipping, it miraculously always lands exactly 90 days from the last clipping.
Isn't that a marvelous coincidence?

Seems to me that Medicare is like a car manufacturer publishing a service schedule in the interests of trouble-free motoring. Want to avoid preventable foot complications? Get your foot examined/treated every 90 days. Sheesh, if the physician recommended 180 days and a patient lost a toe, ambulance chasers would swarm.

>>Medicare and AARP pay him $47/clip. He does about 5/hr so it pays his golf green fees, I guess.

What do you reckon a plumber would charge, especially if he knew that if he left a sharp edge and you lost your foot or leg, he'd be sued for millions?

>>PS.. we have great pizza in Hamilton, and I'll buy.

Next time you're down this way the Hell pizzas are on me. ;-) www.hellpizza.com. Oh, here's some pizza advertizing you might not see in the US:
