Question:
discount in exchange for experimental proceedures

My doctor has, in the past and present, offered/offers a lower fee for the surgery if we consent to an experimental procedure. Has anyone here ever done that? If so, how much of a discount and what was the proceduer? If you haven't...do you think you would be willing to do this?    — Kathie S. (posted on September 9, 1999)

I did not mean a experimental proceedure on the surgery it self, I meant like the use of the boots to keep your blood flowing, medications, treatment procuduers. Things to make you feel more comfotable. Anyone done this and what did you try? Or would you try this?

Thanks for the clarification. The boots are pretty normal, I've had them both my original surgery and the revision and that was 5 years apart. They help the circulation. Heprin was used with me to thin the blood to help prevent clots as well, I'm still not crazy about the word "experimental" I wouldn't want any experimental treatments in any way. That's just me though.
