Hi folks-- just to complicate this [and I could wax long on the regulation
of plastic surgery and of private for profit clinics after all our work on
breast implants]
there are 2 types of plastic surgery /treatments -- that which is funded
through medicare [ie "necessary"] and that undertaken in private for profit
clinics -- and there is a need to differentiate between plastic surgery
done by plastic surgeons and that done by MDs of various persuasions. On
top of this some treatments are used for other issues eg botox is also used
in chronic pain management. billings, fees, place all needs to be sorted
out here. I think only urologists are doing penis implants but could be
wrong...
the College might be willing to discuss this but I think this will require
case study sleuthing..
am glad to chat with your student if that would help --
they can reach at Women's Health Clinic in Winnipeg
