We have no financial ties to anyone - so I haven't a clue what you are talking about.
The VA did a trial of our Diabetes Mgt Coupler - it was very successful but the VA medical management still don't want to use the tool (we still can't beleive this).
Your last point (that "undergoing medical tests is not a benign event") is exactly our point.
We (at PKC) are a bit overwhelmed by the discussion at Slashdot.com regarding our software. We have been building the philosophy, technology, and content for over 15 years now - all the while accepting the fact that the industry of healthcare didn't welcome our efforts. The most discouraging part (don't get me wrong, we are a generally very cheery and optimistic group) was the unwillingness of our detractors to offer much in the way of truly thoughtful dialog. The discussion we have seen spring instantly at Slashdot.com has been largely serious, thoughtful, and fearless. Thanks

We at PKC appreciate your candor and attitude. Our tools are not silver bullets - merely a sensible and carefully crafted and maintained aid. Thanks
