[QUOTE="Darth K'Trava, post: 2634302, member: 20587"] True, Vraille. I have a friend who was told by his insurance carrier that when he was having work done on his varicose veins in one of his legs, that it was "cosmetic" and they wouldn't cover it unless he went to a vascular surgeon who was going to carve into his leg and rip out the bad veins instead of a different, less invasive procedure, where stuff was injected into each bad vein that caused it to shrivel up and eventually close. Never mind that his doc had said that the worst leg needed to be done to keep another vessel from bursting like one did already. He'd had this for years from standing on his feet all the time, wearing tight boots back when he was more involved in KAG and Trek fandom. So, he wasn't doing this to make his legs look all nice and pretty again; it was to prevent further eruptions in his vascular system and the potential for him to bleed to death. He went with the less invasive procedure even though he had to pay alot, if not all, out of his own pocket as he didn't relish the idea of being out of work for over a month, recuperating from the other...
