Last month while I was in India I watch a documentary about a European family man who had been blind since before the war. That was more than half a century long. Till he was brought to the USA for a kind of experiment to make him see again. The moment the bondages were removed he saw a miracle. He was able to see again with the aid of a very small object planted in his eye. What do you think did he say after being able to see again, the world, his family whom he had not seen ever since and the American doctor? “America is great!” Okay. And so he has great people who lost lives and arms and legs in order to defend its greatness. Ok.
Marine Lance Cpl. Joshua Bleill lost both his legs above the knees when a bomb exploded under his Humvee while on patrol in Iraq on October 15, 2006. He has 32 pins in his hip and a 6-inch screw holding his pelvis together. Now he’s starting to walk again with the help of prosthetic legs outfitted with Bluetooth technology more commonly associated with hands-free cell phones. These groundbreaking artificial legs are the latest and greatest. Computer chips in each leg send signals to motors in the artificial joints so the knees and ankles move in a coordinated fashion. The former was able to see again, this man can walk again. It is just great! More of the story here.

It’s amazing the rate at which technology and medicine develops in the recent time. But, I think it must have cause some great bucks to pull off that feat.
