Every company tries to spin their data and wow investors with stats. You think GM isn't going to promote the fact that they have X number of people who have signed up to drive (or are driving) the Volt?

The fact of the matter is, doctors should be trained to administer any medicine or undertake any procedure correctly. It's the first step. If they didn't promote the fact that X number of docs have been trained to date, then I'm sure there'd be people out there knocking them for that too.

Whether or not LaViv takes off is anybody's guess. But to simply dismiss the fact that they have interest in their product and are training doctors who will never ever use their product is silly.

Why don't you just go ahead and name those companies along with "factual verifiable data" and reasons why their situations are like FCSC situation? Then we can have a real discussion. Your posting of empty words just for argument sake is getting stale.

…I could name half a dozen medical companies who tried to wow investors with stats on the number of trained docs rather than actual revenue. All of them eventually went out of business via either bankruptcy or takeout at a firesale price.

Six such companies were Artes Medical, Thermage, LaserSight, Keravision, NMT Medical, and ReGen Biologics. I’m sure there are many more of them.

p.s. According to an informed source, SNY’s Sculptra, which works by inducing the body to generate collagen, is gaining share in the facial-aesthetics market. It is reported to have an effect of up to three years in the mid-face area.

My talk of bankruptcy in #msg-72680919, #msg-71654179, #msg-66506698, and #msg-71646117 doesn’t seem so outlandish now, does it? Neither does my prediction of a $0.22 share price in #msg-65473744.
