.....See, Alan is afraid all the guy is going to start doing is debriding the ulcer (which he has already had done for 18 months).

I think its the best way- initial appointment - say:
"he's been thru debriding & it hasn't been sufficiently helpful.
Bone shaving has been recommended.
Will you do it, if you think that's a sensible/practical/(you name it).... solution to his problem?"
