I just received a call from a man who has a relative in Turkey who isn't
happy with a hole in the socket of a prosthesis. It otherwise fits her
well.
She's not happy with the prosthetist there.
He will be receiving it in the mail soon and wants to send it to someone to
have a duplicate made without the hole. She doesn't want to travel to the
USA due to Covid.
-Does anyone know of a good prosthetist in Turkey?
-Is there anyone willing to do this and what would your fee be?
I told him we wouldn't do it but would ask around.
I explained that despite any effort to copy the prosthesis, it may be
that she doesn't like how it feels and no guarantees would be made.
