Re: Doctor Shoemaker

John Codie,

I have no finacial gain or interest with Dr. Shoemaker's practice.

I need to know when customers are highly sensitive to mold. This
greatly effects my remediation plans. I can't tell someone that
soft, porous items may make them sick through re-exposure. That
could be called "practicing medicine without a license".

Did you go to the revolving lounge at the top of the Double Tree
hotel down the street from me. What a view! Don't drink the water.

BTW John, you have not hit a nerve. I made a polite (or at least I
thought so) attempt to clear some misunderstandings.

I used to refer customers to other doctors in the area. I had one
customer who was told she is crazy. She could barely balance her
checkbook after extreme exposure to a very moldy townhouse that was
gutted on all 3 floors due to 2 different plumbing leaks that were
hidden. I have seen ill-informed docs and this doc is now somewhat
involved with a major lawsuit in this area right now.

Solving problems often requires a team approach and Dr. Shoemaker
provides me the opportunity to perform better service.

Also, charging $8.95 for a test is hardly a "get rich quick
scheme". Health insurance companies have billed patients big bills
for single use plastic tubes of vaseline (Sam Donaldson ABC 20/20).
I think an ugly joke may have a beginning with this fact.........

Can you show me any specialist MD who charges as little as Dr.
Shoemaker does? He hourly rate is cheaper than an automechanic.
