CUSIP No. 67052T201

     This Amendment No. 7 to Schedule 13D Statement is filed on behalf of Turkey
Vulture Fund XIII, Ltd., an Ohio limited liability company (the "Fund"), for the
purpose of reporting the status of certain litigation instituted by NuMED Home
Health Care, Inc., a Nevada corporation ("NuMED" or the "Company"), and the
Fund's purchase of shares of NuMED's common stock, par value $0.001 per share
(the "Shares").

Item 3.   SOURCE AND AMOUNT OF FUNDS OR OTHER CONSIDERATION.

     Item 3 is amended and supplemented as follows:

     The Shares acquired by the Fund since the filing of Amendment No. 6 to
Schedule 13D Statement on December 21, 1998 ("Amendment No. 6") were acquired
for the aggregate purchase price of approximately $2,000 with working capital of
the Fund.

Item 4.   PURPOSE OF TRANSACTION.

     Item 4 is amended and supplemented as follows:

     On December 30, 1998, a hearing was held in the United States District
Court, Middle District of Florida, Tampa Division, on the Fund's motion for
preliminary injunction in NUMED HOME HEALTH CARE, INC. V. TURKEY VULTURE FUND
XIII, LTD. (U.S. Dis. Ct., Florida, Tampa Division, No. 98-2354-CIV-T-17F).  The
complaint and the Fund's response to the complaint, including the motion for
preliminary injunction, are described in Amendment No. 3 to Schedule 13D
Statement filed on November 24, 1998 and Amendment No. 6.

     After the hearing, the Court issued an Order finding that "it needs further
information with respect to the complex factual matters involved in resolving
[the Fund's motion for a preliminary injunction]."  The Court also appointed
James D. Eckert "to act as a mediator and to assemble the information the Court
requested at the hearing."  Mr. Eckert is to act as a mediator with authority in
the nature of special master, with costs to be shared by the parties.  The
parties were "ordered to meet with Mr. Eckert and provide him with the
information the Court requested, as well as any other information Mr. Eckert
requests."  The Court tentatively scheduled a hearing for the afternoon of
January 7, 1999 to be further advised as to this matter.  The Court also
enjoined the Company and its Board of Directors and officers "from taking any
actions outside of the ordinary course of business until further order of [the]
Court."  The Court's Order is attached hereto as Exhibit 7.9.

     The Fund will continue to vigorously defend itself from the Company's
frivolous lawsuit, and will take all necessary steps to insure that the
stockholders of NuMED have the opportunity to elect a Board of Directors.

     Mr. Osborne and the Fund continue to reserve the right to modify their, 
and the Committee for a New NuMED's, plans and proposals described in Item 4, 
as amended and supplemented.  Further, subject to applicable laws and 
regulations, they may formulate plans and proposals that may result in the 
occurrence of any event set forth in clauses (i) through (ix) of Item 4 as 
set forth in the original Schedule 13D Statement filed by the Fund on 
December 23, 1996.

CUSIP No. 67052T201

Item 5.   INTEREST IN SECURITIES OF THE ISSUER.

     Item 5 is amended and supplemented as follows:

     (a)  According to the most recently available filing with the Securities
and Exchange Commission by NuMED, there are 5,711,300 Shares outstanding. 
Excluding the 744,680 Shares that the Fund believes were illegally granted to
Mr. Taneja, there are 4,996,620 Shares outstanding (see Item 4 to Amendment No.
6).

     The Fund beneficially owns 583,500 Shares, or approximately 11.7% of the
outstanding Shares, excluding the 744,680 Shares granted to Mr. Taneja.  Because
Mr. Osborne is the sole Manager of the Fund, Mr. Osborne may be deemed to
beneficially own these Shares.

     (b)  Mr. Osborne, as sole Manager of the Fund, has sole power to vote, or
to direct the voting of, and the sole power to dispose or to direct the
disposition of, the 583,500 Shares owned by the Fund.

     (c)  Since the filing of Amendment No. 6, the Fund has purchased 5,000
Shares in the following open market transactions:
