OSSTEM

sad, sad attempt

 

I've been in implants for about a year, until recently never heard of these Osstem or Blue Sky Bio implants. Still have not seen osstem but there are a few doctors who told me they have gotten some marketing material from this blue sky bio company. They've apparently been around longer than niznick, and offer a decent implant for a lot less money. Is anyone else seeing this in their territories?

 

Another true story...

Megagen's subsidiary in Italy is called Megagen Italia (stop, re-read slowly). Foible or brilliant?

 

Just stick to the best companies, Noble and Straumann. Don't even go there. The grass is definitely not greener on the other side. W/ Noble and Straumann at least you get customer support.

 

sure you get support. most experienced reps have been fired because they made to much money and they have been replaced by superstars who took the 2 week course are absolutely competent ..... to mow the green grass

 

So the company is basically know as Big Cock in Italy. You gotta love the fucking Koreans! They are a clueless race.

 

That is one of the funniest things that I have read on this board, I dont even care if it true or not, Im telling every doc I know this story

 

Come to America, tell doctor we are #1 implant in Korea, train GP to place #1 implant, conquer implant market, sell implant company for billions of dollars, go back to Korea

I found a copy of their business plan, I thought I would share it with everyone

 

Would I lie? http://www.megagenitalia.it/

 

Could also mean "Massive Vagina", but that's no reason to be a racist. Most Koreans I know are great folks trying to pay bills like the rest of us...

I guess you're why Mel Books has started a non-profit to save the word "schmuck" from extinction...


NEW YORK-Saying he could no longer stand idly by while a vital part of American culture is lost forever, activist and Broadway producer Mel Brooks has founded a private nonprofit organization dedicated to preserving the word "schmuck."

An emotional Brooks stopped short of kvetching at a schmuck fundraiser Monday.

"Schmuck is dying," a sober Brooks said during a 2,000-person rally held in his hometown of Williamsburg , Brooklyn Monday. "For many of us, saying 'schmuck' is a way of life. Yet when I walk down the street and see people behaving in foolish, pathetic, or otherwise schmucky ways, I hear only the words 'prick' and 'douche bag.' I just shake my head and think, 'I don't want to live in a world like this..'"

The nonprofit, Schmucks For Schmuck, has compiled schmuck-related data from the past 80 years and conducted its own independent research on contemporary "schmuck" usage. According to Brooks, the statistics are frightening: Utterances of the word "schmuck" have declined every year since its peak in 1951, and in 2006, the word was spoken a mere 28 times -17 of these times by Brooks himself. The study indicates that today, when faced with a situation in which one can use a targeted or self-deprecating insult to convey a general feeling of disgust, people are 50 times more likely to use the word "jerk" than "schmuck," 100 times more likely to use "dick," and 15,000 times more likely to use "fucking asshole."

Perhaps more startling, only 23 percent of men know what schmuck means, and only 1..2 percent of these men are under the age of 78. If such trends continue, Brooks estimates that by 2011, such lesser-used terms as "imbecile," "dummy," "schlub," and "contemptible ne'er-do-well" will all surpass schmuck, which is projected to completely disappear by the year 2020 or whenever Brooks dies.

"We must save this word!" Brooks said to thunderous applause as those in attendance began chanting "Schmuck! Schmuck! Schmuck!" "How will we be able to charmingly describe someone who acts in an inappropriate manner? Especially given the tragic loss of the word 'schmegeggie' in 2001. So I urge you: Tonight, when you get home, please, call up your family, your friends, your loved ones, and tell them they're a bunch of schmucks."

Hundreds turned out at a Boca Raton , FL demonstration to show their support for the dying word.

"I've never told anyone this before," Brooks added, choking back tears, "but my father was a schmuck."

The foundation has already raised more than $20 million, thanks to donations from supporters such as Jackie Mason, Albert Brooks, the Schtupp Institute, Sen. Russ Feingold (D-WI), and the Henny Youngman Endowment for the Preservation of Schmekel. The money will go toward projects aimed at reintegrating "schmuck" into the English lexicon, including billboards and flyers plastered with the word "schmuck," the upcoming 5K Schlep for Schmuck Awareness, and a new Mel Brooks film.

"The world cannot afford to lose this valuable and versatile word," Brooks told reporters during a charity auction in Manhattan's Upper West Side Tuesday, where attendees bid for the chance to have a private lunch with Brooks and repeatedly call him a schmuck. "You can be a poor schmuck, a lazy schmuck, a dumb schmuck, or just a plain old schmuck. A group of people can be collectively referred to as schmucks. You can call someone a schmuck, and you can be called a schmuck. You can even call yourself a schmuck."

"Plus, it's just so fun to say," Brooks added. "Schmuck."
Many of the foundation's volunteers say they share Brooks' passion for the word "schmuck," as well as his outrage that it is slowly disappearing from everyday use. They claim that if they do not act now, the trend could create a snowball effect.

"Today its schmuck, tomorrow it might be toochis," said SFS volunteer Harry Steinbergmann, 82. "What's next, schlemiel? Putz? Schlimazel?" Steinbergmann went on to classify this scenario as farcockteh.

 

Jesus, this is some funny shit. The Koreans are so clueless, they do not see that the word "genatalia is part of their name? Should someone tell them? Do the Italians see it, but just laugh when the Koreans are not around? This is a huge fucking gaff. Lets take bets as to how long it will take them to change it.

 

To be honest, I think it was the Italians who named it, as it's common for subsidiaries to cary the X Italia name. Given the Italian ego, it's entirely possible that they suggested the name "Big Cock" and are laughing all the way to the bank...

 

kazekstan?? What are they selling implants to Borat?

 

Hi. I am Italian, to understand megagenitalia=big cock takes a while, maybe for the accent and so on, maybe becauses genitalia is kind of old latin word. Is anybody here that tried Megagen implant, the Straumann copy? Anyway the big company maybe can low down the price of normal abutments, analog, burn out sleeve etc. Is that normal that a Straumann burnout sleeve in Italy is 40 € euros?

 

JERSEY SHORE IS #1 IMPLANT COMPANY, FIST PUMP!!!!!!!!

 

Please stop this, we all know that you are Korean.

 

I can only say that a friend of mine worked with Megagen briefly and he wishes he never did. Not to sound racial but the lauguage barrier, the support and the companys nit picking hard selling methods are just an example of what the Koreans think of the Americans. You will feel like your in S. Korea in a slave camp. I'm afraid the party is over guys, these startups are crap. The ones that are seemingly decent to work with have products nobody wants anymore, and the new Korean Companys who have some good products the reps are miserable. I would say this is the end of the road. Capital equipment or supplys.

 

I REGRET purchasing an Osstem Implant System package from Osstem Hiossen. Pitiful experience all around.

 

So you are the one doctor who purchased the implant system in the United States. I always wondered who it was.

 

The BIGGEST problem with Osstem/Hiossen is the people working there, news flash, you are not in Korea anymore!!!!!! Learn English, hire Americans, eat a breath mint
