I dunno, judging by those pics, I’d say she graduated at the “head” of her class, if you know what I mean.
I want that flower-enhanced bikini top in percypercy’s first link.

Is it just me, or does that Day-Glo orange bikini look Photo-Shopped on?
It does, indeed.
So, what’s your opinion of her marketting scheme, Guin? Sleazy use of sexuality inappropriate in a professional setting or effective appeal to the marketplace?
That’s exactly it. Her stated purpose is to avoid having to deal with insurance companies. I’ve heard of a few of these practices popping up here and there, basically catering to people with money to burn, the sort of people to whom $1500/yr. is no big deal. The pitch to them is that they’re going to get a level of service that they would never get from a visit with another doctor; you pay for an hour of her time, and you get an hour with her. Never mind that she probably can’t do much more in an hour than she could in fifteen minutes.
You don’t have to have that many patients in a scheme like this; if she can sign up 100 patients at that rate, she’s grossing a buck and a half a year even if she never sees any of them.
(It’s also, to me, a safe bet to say that people who can afford to pay such fees out of pocket and who are concerned enough about their health to seek out this level of care have fewer health problems than the general population.)
That close-up frightens me, too; she says she’s never had any cosmetic surgery, to which I reply, “Botox ain’t surgery.” I found that lipstick to be less hot pink and more safety orange.

I’ve been wondering when “fee for service” practices are going to come into fashion. The hassle of dealing with insurance companies has become so irritating that a doctor could probably do quite well treating the minor ailments this way.
Course, I never thought it would happen this way. Good God!
There’s something utterly fascinating that the caption on the first page describes what she’s doing as “backpacking”.
And the instructions on how to correctly pronounce “Vaughan”, brilliant!
Hrm. Could be. When it gets that eye-searing I can’t look at it for that long.
EWW EWW EWW I’M SCARRED FOR LIFE!!
<<A few years ago, on a memorable summer evening, I broke the two-digit barrier and set my personal record of 13 orgasms. With a man I’d been married to for over 14 years. Not bad for massaging new data!-- from “Monogamy: Is one enough?”>>
I just thank the gods that I didn’t see any pics of her hubbie…bad enough I saw way too many TMI pics of HER!! My mind’s eye definitely would’ve gone blind!
Oh, and by the way, Doctor J–DAMN YOU TO HELL for putting that link up!!!
(It’s certainly not my fault for becoming horridly fascinated, right? :rolleyes:)
oops -----:rolleyes: :rolleyes: :rolleyes:
Yeah, I think the page on Men’s Sexual Dysfunction is meant to clear that right up, just by reading the page. Riiiiiiiiiight.
God forbid she should end up posing for “Playboy.”
Great leaping Ho’s! Is she a Doctor or a Prostitute? I work in a hospital, and I have never ever seen anything like this.
Facinating…
Does she have a fee schedule for various therapies?
oh.
my.
god.
well it gives me an anti rolemodel i suppose.
when i qualify as a doctor i will not
a)dress like a hooker
b)look like a hooker
c) talk like a hooker (i don’t know how many orgasms my doctor has in a session, and i don’t WANT to know!)
don’t hospitals have dress codes? do you think that’s why she’s a GP?
I love it… MD as brand name. :rolleyes:
I’ve seen a LOT of patients burned badly by these “fee for service” arrangements. They submit the charges to their insurance company, and the insurance denies it (and legitimately so) as a non-covered charge. So the patient gets trapped in this arrangement for a lot of money, and doesn’t get anything back from the insurance. Meanwhile, the patient is also paying for insurance.
Makes you wonder why she’s really leaving town.

I’m assuming she intends for most of her patients to be desperate, middle-aged men, judging by the photos. I can just see hear the conversations in the suburban homes of Greensboro:
Wife: You’re late again! Where have you been?
Husband: I had to stop and see a prostitute.
Wife: Don’t try that old line on me. You’ve been to the doctor, haven’t you? HAVEN’T YOU?
Husband: (plaintively) I’m sorry, i just had to have one more procedure. I’ll never go there again.
Hahaha
