I wanted to share with the list a response I received recently from a
prosthetic consumer. Looks to me like some people are very angry at us.
Until there are safeguards in place to protect the amputee from hacks and
just plain shoddy prosthetists, you wont find any backing in the consumer
segment.
We're waiting on pins and needles to see this garbage heap swept clean.
You're all so worried about how things affect you that you (as an industry)
forget who is the ONLY REQUIRED factor in this industry - us - the amputee.
Just more crap at our expense.
