I received a mailing in yesterday's mail from a local rehab place. This is not unusual, as they do blanket mailers to the community, normally saying, "If you need PT, come see us" or something of that nature.
The mailing I received was "Do you have weakness in one leg and have trouble walking? We have the new Tibion Bionic Leg! Call us if you have muscle weakness or trouble walking from any of the following conditions: Stroke, Multiple Sclerosis, Orthopedic condition, Arthritis"
It might just be me, but I had to laugh at the specificity of it. I guess with HIPA rules and such, they can't exactly ask the hospitals who has had a stroke, etc.
