To your one point about the third site: Yes he missed the anticipated window. But he said it's still being negotiated in the presentation monday. I work in contracts and can vouch it often takes longer than desired to work though T&C. It's a lot of back and forth both internally and externally and everyone is busy. I have faith he didn't drop the ball, it's probably just being ironed out.
It seems to me McNally is doubling down on the "if you build it, they will come" mindset of titan leadership. Based on his words I think he sees current and anticipates future surgeon interest spurring the company along. Logically, the testing at the 3 sites will broaden our exposure to surgeons and should drive interest. My pain point is, will that happen soon enough to save us from another hiatus because we are broke? When it happens, will it be enough? Can we just warp 5 years into the future and see what will come of this experiment? We're living paycheck to paycheck here! That's not my style!
