Tom, I apologize if my message offended you - it certainly was meant to be tongue and cheek - as I am sure your oblique reference to lawyers was!  You must admit that every year a number of healthcare "professionals" commit various abuses  and some are even convicted of various forms of Medicare and Medicaid fraud, just as many shyster lawyers  are convicted of various forms of malfeasance and fraud.  Besides, you were the one that complained about the use of disposables first.  I suspect that a large number of those "s.o.b.s  with a 7 figure salary in the board room" are physicians.   Once again, no offense was intended.  To paraphrase something we once heard in a different context, "A lot of my best friends are doctors."   mike   ----- Original Message ----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Saturday, February 02, 2002 4:13 AM Subject: Re: [VFB] Scissors In a message dated 02/01/2002 5:06:49 PM Pacific Standard Time, [EMAIL PROTECTED] writes: Who cares if the expense is born by the patient or the insurance company!
