Letter From the Editor


The Big (and Small) Pictures

This was quite a week for the nation. Now the hard work of politics turns into the harder work of governance. The new president sure has his work cut out for him.

Today's DOTmed News includes an interesting survey of Americans reflecting just how important health care is on the priority list. It's second only to jobs as an economic concern.

Today's edition also features the little issues that are so important. We've got two stories on ambulances -- a manufacturing industry update and a brief item about a re-manufacturer. Another coincidence of topics is in our dual reports on sterilizers. STERIS provides an update on System 1 and their new design. Also, FDA put out a white paper on sterile testing for device makers.

Where else can you get this stuff but DOTmed News?

See you tomorrow.
