I would love to try the new microproccesor controlled foots, but they aren't covered by the insurance and cost about 40,000 euro
I study pharmaceutical sciences

I have quite good coverage so it doesn't cost me a lot of money. But the price of the prosthesis itself is about 8,000 euro and I make about 1500 extra costs each year.

I had a longtidunal tibial defect. My tibia was too short and I had a malformed foot with just 2 toe's in a really weird angle. Sorry don't have picture

How long until you can get deus ex style augmented limbs? Or are they available now just prohibitively expensive?

Have you ever been so mad youve thought about throwing your prosthetic limb at someone else's head?

Sorry, nothing against amputees but it's a fun thought for me.
