Does Precision Really Matter
I grunted as I set the base end of the clock down on the landing. German grandfather clocks from 1890 aren’t featherweights. My father, on the other end of the clock (and the stairs) pushed, upending the piece so we could work it around the narrow landing in the middle of the stairwell.
He’d bought the clock from me, which is why we were moving it out of my place. He only collects grandfather clocks over seven feet tall. And in excess of three hundred pounds, or so my hands insisted. Hand Complaint isn’t a precise measure, but it did get me thinking.
Precision isn’t really optional in measurement, is it? Consider the clock itself (while my eyeballs bug out as we load it into my van.) What if you wrote your grandfather clock Facebook ad like this: “Grandfather clock, sort of keeps time but not really. It wasn’t designed to be precise, just give you a vague idea of what time it might be.”
Would it sell? (Even if it does sell, I’m not moving it for you.)
A clock is a measurement device, so if it isn’t precise, it’s useless. That’s why we harp on our Transit Time Flow Measurement devices being the most accurate on the market. We say it over and over. We advertise it. We shout it from the rooftops.
As a clinician, would you use plumbers' tools after an aneurysm ablation to get a vague idea of what arterial blood flow might be? Of course not. Cerebral vessels carry very little blood, so the smallest reduction could spell disaster for the patient. You would only trust the most accurate medical instrument. We spend the time to design and build the most precise devices on the market because your patients are living, breathing people, just like us.
If we didn’t care, we’d just make… well… what other companies make.
Your surgeries deserve tools that match your skills—only the best—because precise devices aren’t gratuitous, they’re essential.
…Oh, and as a bonus, they weigh a whole lot less than a grandfather clock.
