[HSF] Image of the week - Failed repair

[erdinç naseri]

Michael,
Except the price of the VAD.s ( which are unavailable here)the social insurance organization will pay something around 3-5X 1000US Dollar for such a patient here.With such a tremendous difference in the funds mobilized for the care of these
 patients I am very happy that we can still communicate in these subjects.
