Ortopedia Correto - Jairo Blumenthal

4/26/1999

Hi Don and Tony:

        My name is Jairo Blumenthal CP, and I live in Porto Alegre, south of
Brazil, very close to Argentina.
        I did my education in the United States, at California State University
and now I'm ahead of our Facility, that is in business for 56 years
already.
        As I believe I'm the only brazilian practitioner with education in the US
(so far), I would like to offer my workshop to help this patient and others
in the same situation in this area, as I've done to many others from
Paraguai, Argentina and Uruguai, beside Brazil, of course.
        We use almost everything from Otto Bock and from Össur, as their national
distributor.

        If you need any further informations, my adress is:

        Jairo Blumenthal CP
