@BionicBeverley@openbionics I just remember being so shocked and embarrassed! But it definitely made me feel worse about myself. Im glad im not in that space now, you just have to feel sorry for people that have them opinions as it can happen to anyone at any stage of life.
@BionicBeverley@openbionics When i was 16 i had a 'friends' mum ask me if i get boyfriend's when i have no hand and then she proceeded to tell me she would kill herself if she was me. Will never forget that
Just finished binge watching @PLLTVSeries again and im STILL just as annoyed that we only got a few episodes of Emily and Alison together 😑 #PLL#S8PLEASE
That would of cost the NHS loads more money and time than if they had the Hero Arm as an option.
The technology for amputees proshetics that are available on the NHS are so backwards. Help to empower amputee's by supplying amazing technology like the @openbionics arms 🙏
@MattHancock@NHSEngland the Hero Arm technology is like no other
I have had multiple prosthesis made through the NHS that were not functional and caused sores on my stump
On one occasion it took them making the hand 5 times before they got the colour and positioning right, that
@vickyfoxcroft is there any way you can help with this? Many of us are havE to resort to crowdfunding to get the prosthetic arms we need.
@openbionics' founder @SighSam even sat down with the PM who agreed the Hero Arm should be available on the #NHS.

So many people trying to fund their own Hero Arms!! @MattHancock please get The Hero Arm on the @NHSuk It is the people’s choice for below the elbow amputees. Let’s upgrade what the NHS offer 🦾
Amazing technology thar could completely change an amputee's life for the better, and not cause sores like proshetics available through the NHS but still funding isnt available for them 🤯
Four years of asking @NHSEngland for adoption @MattHancock. Over 2 years of this technology being available via private healthcare clinics. It’s easier to get a Hero Arm in the USA despite it being designed and made in England.
