Soup to ‘die for’

§ From page 1

“She makes the best nana fish

sandwiches and soups. I die for

them every

day.” said Mare

LaTorre.

And when the students don’t

have cnough money to pay for
their order Moore trusts them to
¥ make it up next time.

“She enjoys kids. She respects

them and treats them as real
human beings,” said Rioux.

Moore also makes the effort

@ herself to decorate the canteen

for

Easter, Halloween and

Chrismas. And when the drama
students are rehearsing after
school, Moore comes in on her
own time to make sure they are

fed.
“When I first got here I'd

never worked in a high school. I
thought I'd kill them all in the

first three weeks,”
“Then I thought I'd treat

receive two more letters
before going betore a nine:

ity to bill through the gov

MacDonald said he isn’t
extra-billing.

“Pm offering a screening
procedure that is not an
insured service and never has
been,” he said.

He charges $140 for wo
area scans, the most com-
mon service provided to
patients.

MacDonald has come
under fire for opening his
clinic before getting accredi-
tation from the College of
Physicians and Surgeons of
British Columbia.

MacDonald said he’s ver-

Physicians and Surgeons to

determine if standards of

care are being met under an
accreditation policy.”

MacDonald said he is
considering shutting — his
operation down until he gets
accreditation. But he will
serve four patients next week
first.

Although he said he
checked the rules and regula-
tions for operating his busi-
ness, he added that he did
not seck accreditation before
opening the clinic because he
did nor know it was neces-
sary.

The government also has
general concerns with the ris-
Ing costs to the province
from the increased number
of bone-density scans.

The use of the DEXA
machines has grown quickly
in recent years, from 5,258
scans in the early 1990s to

ment reviews their proce-
dures and standards for use
and whether they are used
appropriately.

MacDonald said demand
for the leased machine on the
North Shore. exists. Lions
Gate Hospital does not have
ane.

Dr. John Maynard, who's
the president of the North
Shore Medical Society, said
he’s speaking for himself and
not the society when he wel-
comed the addition of the
bone-density clinic’s equip-
ment to the North Shore.

He believes the scans are
important in determining
bone density and therefore
the best therapeutic options
for Osteoporosis patients.

Maynard said some of his
patients have waited six to
eight months before getting
into the two Vancouver hos-
pitals that perform the scans.
