Letter From the Editor


Today's News Snapshot

I kind of felt bad for Sarah Palin when she was asked which newspapers she read during last year's campaign. I understood the quizzical look she gave Katie Couric. You see, executives in government don't actually read newspapers. They have people for that.

Communications aides clip the articles of importance for the executive or put together the digital equivalent of a news folder.

Well here at DOTmed News we treat you like our chief executive and put together a medical technology news briefing, updated daily. So whether you are running for office or running an office, check in with us daily.

See you tomorrow.
