Hello. O & P Business News is planning a feature article on Empowered
Consumers--Bane or Benefit? How do you feel? Do you feel that your
patients/clients are more knowledgeable and/or are wanting more information
about their orthotic/prosthetic care?
Have you had any experiences with a little knowledge is a dangerous
thing?--that is, situations in which clients have obtained some incomplete
or misleading information and are adamant about following it? Do you feel,
in general, that if consumers are taking more of a part in
orthotic/prosthetic decisions, that this is beneficial or not? Does it
produce more compliance, if they own their care decisions?
Please let us know what you think and e-mail Miki Fairley at

Thanks for your input!
