Something similar happened last year. A company that made eye implants to help blind people see went bankrupt, and suddenly they weren't around to repair/replace/remove the implants anymore.

Holy shit. That one lady was just walking around the New York subway and her eye implant went dark. That's wild. Imagine if that happened to a wheelchair user, or someone with a prosthetic leg. Or an artificial internal organ! The company just shuts down and so do your body parts? Truly terrifying.
