Letter From the Editor


Practice Makes Perfect

Today's DOTmed News includes a story about online pricing for self-pay patients and a look at an insurance-less primary care model. You can't help but wonder if the system is trying to self-correct in advance of wholesale health care reform.

Meanwhile back at the ranch, not much progress has been made on the thorny issue of a government-run alternative health insurance plan. However, read our regular updates to keep track of what is happening ... or not happening.

For the orthopods among us, a report on nuclear medicine in that specialty, a look at shaver cleaning, plus a new ACL technique.

See you tomorrow.
