Posting for a friend:

Cosmetic surgery ads are everywhere--Yellow Pages, newspapers (especially
those focused on entertainment and singles), local magazines, airline
magazines, billboards, radio, and television--but I only see them in the
Phoenix metropolitan area.  Could you help me see them in your area?  It
would be a random act of kindness and a contribution to medical sociology.
I'm working on a book on this entrepreneurial sector of medical care and
need the ads both for a chapter on interspecialty turf battles and for one
on paid advertising.  I will be most grateful to recieve any "clippings"
with the date and source printed on the back or descriptions of billboard,
radio, or television ads. I published an article on cosmetic surgery that
I'd be happy to send to anyone who wants it.  Thanks in advance.
