Some confusion here!

Regarding the " Pacemaker for OS treatment " being handled by a certified "otorhinolaryngologist", there must be some mistake. I very carefully scrutinized the designation "otorhinolaryngologist" and confirmed there was not a single D, M or E in the whole word. How on earth do you expect insurance companies to deal with this sort of thing? Does this mean they will have to make larger payouts due to the length of the word, or perhaps longer waiting times for reimbursement or even approval.

I don't think it will fly. Can even imagine what an evil otorhinolaryngologist really is? With a handle like that, just think how much they will be able to charge especially when you factor in the additional cost for signage, larger business cards and overall cost of additional ink.

What about a guy like me who already has a pacemaker. With all the electrodes and power supplies and they both go off at the same time I could get fried. Spouses and friends wouldn't come near you in case they got electrocuted.

Nah, it'll never work.

PS - What do you call an evil DME who gets a otorhinolaryngologist degree. Perhaps an evil Dmeotorhinolaryngologist?

PPS - Can't wait to do spellcheck on this one!
