If you own a HOPE electronic badge or other similar device, then celebrate by coming to The Badge Clinic with your stories, questions, and answers. Nurses at The Badge Clinic serve electronic therapy to hackers interested in badges. They encourage families and kids to become their most hacked patients.
The Badge Clinic is open for your exploration of modern and classic hacker-made wearable electronics. Their raison d'être includes answering questions about the 30th anniversary HOPE XV electronic badge, as well as other devices. Electronic devices resembling hacker badges or accessories (lanyard, simple addon, SAO, programming cable) can get therapy at The Badge Clinic. Nurses who have taken the Hackocratic Oath serve by assembling a museum of historical badges, showcasing devices that you bring to them, examining and surgically repairing badge problems, and advising hackers on electronic badge related topics. This year, **Michael Schloh von Bennewitz (MSvB)** is chief electronic surgeon at The Badge Clinic.
