Rick,
I just want to add my own two-bits to your comments about "investing in technology to satisfy unmet medical needs and improve the quality of life."
During the public comment portion of the panel presentation for Dermagraft, two of the people urging recommendation were two people that had had their diabetic ulcers healed using the product. One was Frank J. Baker, M.D., former Professor and Chairman of the Department of Emergency Medicine, University of Chicago. Frank had been bitten by a brown recluse spider. Because he was diatetic the wound failed to heal, it became infected and he had several toes amputated. Because of the change of his gait he developed a diabetic foot ulcer that refused to heal. In April of 1997 he was granted a Compassionate Use Waver and treated with Dermagraft. "The response was nothing short of amazing. Two days after the first application, my physician and I could see an obvious improvement in my wound. Another was Mrs. Sullivan. She was there because she had been told that it was a question of time before she lost her leg if they couldn't get her ulcer to heal. I know that this sounds like so much corn but I was very proud that my small investment helped these two people WALK to the podium and STAND there to tell their story.
One more impression. I had been forewarned what a dynamo we had in Gail Naughton, president and C.O. of ATIS. She is a wonder to behold.
I feel very comfortable with her at the helm. I think she knows how to navigate to where we want to go.
