For the lists benefit, this is my question and the response from Dr. Smith. I plan on putting together a packet with Ossurs’ agreement and Dr. Smith’s response along with my interpretation of ethical conduct to be distributed to each of the Chief’s of Prosthetic Clinics that I attend.
As shown above, anyone else is free to do the same.
