RP Members I posted a discussion about some revolutionary prosthetics a couple of days ago, but check out this hand - this is advanced technology for our wounded veterans.

After an IED strike took part of his arm, James Sides received a prosthetic hand that seems plucked from a sci-fi movie.

Out of 4 Spinal operations I have a total of 12 vertebra bolted together (Cannot possibly be many more left) the last 2 operations I had done at Hampton Orthopedic and Spine by an AWESOME PIONEERING Surgeon named Dr. Jeffrey Carlson. I remember a Marine that had lost his arm and this institute offered ALL CARE and COSTS to try a revolutionary new prosthetic. The technology came from Germany and a host of Dr's came over to assist in the operation by implanting a computer chip in the stub and attaching the arm (Below Elbow). When they had finished this huge operation the Marine could move his artificial wrist and fingers, write and shake hands. I was so moved by this I thought wow what will they be able to do in 10 more yrs?
