John,

    Your message is right on point but often very hard to sell. I spent
    42 years practicing ophthalmology, inventing instruments, developing
    and teaching surgical techniques, etc. etc. When the pico-second YAG
    laser was modified for our use, in my mind, it was just another way
    to do a job that I had been doing surgically for years. I did it in
    my office based operating room, the reusable instrument cost about
    $15.00, it took about 10 seconds (really) and we had no
    complications. The laser required it's own room, cost about $25,000
    and procedures took about 10 minutes. BUT IT WAS HIGH TECH, IT WAS
    GLITZY AND IT WAS MARKETABLE! Within about three years medicare, in
    response to heavy lobbying, decided to reimburse patients for the
    procedure ONLY IF IT WAS DONE WITH THE LASER!! 

    Gravity isn't the only unseen force in this world. 

Dr. Mac
