: : : : O.K. Now, speaking of technology. Our friends the FDA apparently approves over 4000 producst every year. Quite a few of these are duplicates or nearly so. Should there be a restriction of duplication of technology and devices?
: : : No, Although there are duplications that might be a little better or faster but if they are exactly the same it should have
: : : restrictions on that product.
: : What kind of restrictions would you place, Linda?
: If they are going to duplicate something it should be a big change not a small one where health care facilities have to run out and get it. If there is a transition wait till it increases more. Got it?
Got it. I am just wondering though, who would decide the change is significant and not a small one.
