PLAYING FOOTSIE WITH MEDICARE
Straight out of Guilford, Connecticut, we have Podiatrist Richard Sockoff, oops, we mean Sokoloff, who has plead guilty to one count of Pedicare fraud, oops, we mean Medicare fraud. The ankle he took, oops, we mean angle he took, was to submit bills for removing in-grown toenails when all he really did was clip those toenails. Upon sentencing, he faces up to ten years in federal prison for toeing, oops, we mean toying, with the system to the tune of more than $200,000. What a heel! Bunny slippers, bunion clippers — and nothing rhymes with plantar fasciitis. (Sorry! We’re good, just not THAT good.)
