| I really thought the information was fantastic. I work at Los Angeles County Trama Center and we see a bunch of toe to thumb transfers as well as grafts and flaps, thought it was great to read about these things in a book for therapists. I actually thought the test was comperable to the CHT-so you could advertise this as a good refresher before other therapist take the exam. Oh yeah, I really liked the excellent end quick response from you guys when I had a question. I would definately take another course from you two! Thanks. Karin |
