They're doing it because nobody else is doing it.

And they're doing it because it's an attractive, there's some traction.

Some patients are saying, hey, I like this concept.

I heard it's state of the art.

It's a thing of the future.

I'm going to go to a doctor that engages with that technology.

So there's the place for it right there.

The flip side of that is it's time consuming.

It slows the doctor down.

It's not cost-effective.

So it's kind of a happy medium.

The rest of the technology coming across the table is going to be from GI, from ophthalmology, gynecology, the whole spectrum.

There's always advancements in medicine.

There's always advances in pain relief.

orthopedics especially, when you're having your shoulder, knee, or hip replaced, the patient is in a great deal of pain.

That medication, that interventional pain relief is very critical.

It's the difference between a successful outcome and a painful one.

So those are the kind of technology improvements that we need to watch, we need to enhance.

And quite honestly, we'll let the vendors compete with one another who comes out with the best products.

It's an exciting place for us to be at right now because all of the vendors, all of the labs, all of the companies are all striving to be as good as they possibly can.
