The Brochure Lied

Every machine sounds great in the brochure. Pick the one you'd buy for a hospital, then reveal what the repair notes actually said. This is a historical comparison, not a safety rating.

28 machines studied across 14 equipment types. The original audit recommended a choice in 13 categories after weighing use, upkeep and service.
