“Sadly for spinal anesthesia and neurology patients, the medical community has largely ignored these discoveries. I believe that one reason is that my technique uses a very inexpensively manufactured non-patented needle (about $0.50 cents each). By contrast, the most popular anesthesia needles today use PATENTED designs which are hard to manufacture, and consequently command prices of $25.00 and up. Clearly, if my technique were widely adopted, the needle manufacturers would lose tens or hundred of millions of dollars in profits. Need I say more?”
