Sadly, Dr. Fowler was the only one at Titan with an excellent reputation and work ethic, a vast network of distinguished & equally impressive surgeons/medical minds and access to educational institutions & professional associations. He left, why?
You can say he was a tinkerer, but it makes no sense for him to leave if we are indeed close to SPORT's release or FDA/CE mark approval. Moreover, apparently nothing Reiza and John could say that would keep him at Titan either. If you think it through a bit (and take off the blinders) you may understand that SPORT/Titan are in serious trouble. Or maybe you'll believe what Randell, Rayman and Hargrove are putting down.
If Titan doesn't come out with a formal PR/Statement that Ximedica is back on line soon, I think it's another bad omen IMO.
