Letter From the Editor
Last Word on Parts
I just wrote a story about medical equipment parts for our magazine, DOTmed Business News (Oct. 2009). The first person I called told me to send readers to DOTmed.com. He said that's the best place to find parts. I thanked him but explained that I can't say that because it's too self-promotional and anyway I have to write 2,000 words.
Today, DOTmed launches our Certified Parts Vendor Program that automatically seeks matches between parts requests and vendors' inventory. To be honest, I don't really know how it works. The smart guys at DOTmed figured it out. Read about it and sign up or call us for more details.
See you tomorrow.
