Anyone talk to Dr Yue to see if he knows more about the status of FDA's approval of Prodisc? Since the one level received an "approvable letter" back in Jan and now we are almost in June with no final approval to market the damn thing....are they in fact waiting the 6 mos for the 2 level arm of the study to get approval before releasing any of them out to the market? Is this an insurance coverage strategy????

Anyone have a clue about this?
