Re: Fighting the system

I have thought about it. I don't think we can sue in Canada. I

have thought about sueing the specialist more because he put the

starband on my son when there was 4 weeks between the scan and the

fitting. According to Orthomerica's website the starband must be

fitted within 2 weeks. Sounds like they went against the

manufacturers recomendations to me. Is the band still approved for

use if it is not used according to the manufacturs guidelines.
