I'm not disputing that there's good advice in this article, but when my wife had her leg amputated, being American we had to do it the American way. Our insurance told her which prosthetist she'd be working with. There was no choice, unless we wanted to go out-of-network and foot the bill (no pun intended) ourselves.
