I have one long-time patient who says she doesn't have insurance and is a nurse. I've given her 20% off the tab, but then I end up sending her bills for at least a year before she pays. My new policy with her is that the discount only applies when the bill is paid within thirty days. -- Gary M. on LI Clinton 8/17/98 GJ-59:"depends on what the meaning of the word 'is' is" http://www.forbes2000.com/cgi-bin/recruit/rec_redeem.cgi?memberid=476488698
