Recently (as reported in the news) the Department of Veterans Affairs wanted to prove that an army veteran was actually an amputee. But instead of referencing his extensive medical records or simply looking to see if he was missing his left leg, they insisted that he get an X-ray taken of his artificial limb.
The veteran protested, "It's like, 'Dude, I'm not a starfish. It isn't going to grow back.'" to which the doctor responded by laughing.*
If this is an accurate report, does this constitute a legal, ethical, or professional etiquette problem, or, is it just a weird waste of money?
