Yes it is quite amazing...I do some of my own work but it usually limited to installing a plug on a cord or a plug on a machine, just simple stuff...Although I know I am capable of doing more and do so from time to time..

Interestingly enough, there is no law against that You have to be licensed to do it as a contractor but anyone can install a new plug on their own equipment. The law extends only to installations permanently connected to the supply - eg. a hard-wired electric stove versus a plug in microwave oven.

So I could then ask the ortho more relevant questions with regard to operation, rehab, and ongoing care.

Not quite, I was doing preliminary research so I could then ask an expert, rather than ask a bunch of anonymous "experts" on an internet forum and ignore the good advice that was given of asking a real expert.

Course they were, and I now know that you don't fall off at around 70mph when water skiing.
