This is really interesting: >The neuromodulation market as a whole is expected to surpass the billion- >dollar milestone this year, and promises to become a multi-billion dollar, >multi-indication segment of the medical device industry. The announcement has almost nothing on the patients, their disabilities etc. Where is the emphasis? Answer: On money to be made. I encourage everybody to read this announcement to glean what "medical care" is really about. A bit scary, You might also think about this in the context of rising costs and the inability to develop a viable medical insurance plan for all. K. F.
