$75 for a Varicose-Vein Consultation and Diagnostic Ultrasound at Lincoln Radiology Varicose Vein Clinic ($815 Value)
Seventeenth-century shipping routes drastically improved once navigators began referring to actual maps of waterways instead of the veins on their thighs. Steer clear of veiny skin with today’s Groupon: for $75, you get a varicose-vein consultation and diagnostic ultrasound at Lincoln Radiology Varicose Vein Clinic in Lincoln (an $815 value). Staffed by an elite vein-vanquishing team of board-certified physicians , Lincoln Radiology hunts down the cardiovascular slackers that cause unsightly blood bulges and uses advanced technology to leave them nowhere to hide. Patients begin their consultation (a $276 value) by discussing their medical history and concerns with one of Lincoln Radiology’s nurses, who then photographs affected veins on one or both legs. A cutting-edge ultrasound uses harmless high-frequency sound waves to create a real-time image for analysis by the clinic’s technologists, who are certified in both vascular and general sonography. During the ultrasound (a $539 value), a technologist applies pressure to the legs, scanning for signs of faulty venous valves and malfunctioning gear pumps. A physician then interprets the images recorded by the ultrasound. If action is deemed necessary, patients can discuss potential treatment options, including laser treatment and sclerotherapy, as well as insurance preauthorization steps. The consultation and imaging take approximately one hour. Groupon Says The Groupon Guide to: This Year’s Coolest Gadget Has science finally found a way to make dogs less boring? Read more…

$10 for $20 Worth of Deli Fare and Wine at Cellar19 in Council Bluffs
If grapes could talk, they’d recount their dreams, the first time they got plucked, and the first time they felt victimized by nature’s rumor mill—the vine. Taste the tales of the grape with today’s Groupon: for $10, you get $20 worth of casual fare and wine at Cellar19 in Council Bluffs, IA. Cellar19 compiles a menu of freshly made sandwiches, salads, and appetizers to pair with their array of international wines. Select a bottle from the wooden racks lining the restaurant, or settle in for a laid-back lunch with an order of baked brie topped with apple slices, almonds, and berry preserves ($9) or cool shrimp cocktail ($8). Slices of bread bind high quality meats and fresh toppings to create 19 different hot and cold sandwiches, such as chicken cordon bleu with swiss-cheese-topped chicken breast and tavern ham ($6.99). The veggie crisp courts coy herbivores with a medley of avocado, sprouts, and other greenery on a baguette spread with white-wine mustard ($6.99). Glasses of the Chateau Ste. Michelle Riesling ($6) compliment crisp vegetables; the Windmill zinfandel ($7) boasts bold raspberry flavors to match heartier fare such as Cellar19′s French dip ($6.99) or flannel salads. Art from local craftspeople lines the chic eatery’s dark walls, where guests have the option of sitting along the polished wine bar or at tables to make alluring eye contact with a date. An outdoor patio facilitates al fresco snacking and allows diners to flaunt their libations in front of responsible birds that still have to fly themselves home.
