Yes, there are some money-grubbing doctors. The ones that come to mind are elective procedure plastic surgeons.

I will say, that in a million years I would not have thought of going to a doctor about getting my ears pierced or re-pierced.

I apologize if my point was made out to sound like that. Thank you for being respectful and not name-calling like I've already been! I just reread my first reply and saw that I said "doctors always". I probably meant to say "Some doctors always". My bad!

Back on topic I, too, never thought about asking a doctor about getting repierced but I guess it's good to be cautious. Also, I don't understand the ball of cartilage. Is it just the cartilage that grew back in or is there something else there?
