Just looked it up. Here's the link. The inventor of this gadget also invented the first in the ear thermometer.

Please someone take a look and tell me if any of you have used this sock thing.

Also, it says it's contraindicated for people with implanted devices (and other stuff too).

Alan has a stent. Does this mean he can't use it. He is seeing Dr. Fred for a special VNG test on Friday. I'll bring this up to his doctor.

Alan's other doctor said that insurance covers this in full. NOW IF THEY WON'T PAY FOR A PAIR OF SHOES!!!, I mean, really!!!

Any comments??

P.S. About Alan getting a new pair of shoes from his HMO (as well as getting them to pay for last year's orthotic), well, I contacted Rep McMahon's office, and guess what? THEY GOT BACK TO ME.

We just filled out some form and are mailing it back to their office.

They will try and help.

Who knew???
