Hello List,
Is anyone else out there using the First Step guide for their new amputees? I do, but I am not happy with the Amputee Coalition's decision to allow only Hanger, a competitor to every private practice in the US, to use the guide as advertising. There are three advertisements in the guide, Otto Bock, Ossur , and Hanger. Only one of those is a competitor to all of us, and in my opinion has no business in this guide. I always thought of the Amputee Coalition as a neutral organization but this decision of theirs to run a Hanger add is a pseudo endorsement of Hanger. Please if you feel the same way contact the Amputee Coalition at 888-267-5669 and tell Susan Stout the acting CEO that this is not acceptable and is not compliant with their claim that they do not endorse specific company . Thank you.
