James -
Thank you very much for making your points.
For the benefit of me, and to show you I know how to read, I am going to restate them below. Remember - I am NOT medically trained, so we have to take down the LINGO a notch.
Here goes ....
(1) There are several TYPES of doctors that serve this market.
(2) We can think of them in TWO GROUPS:
(a) Family practice , rheumatology , internal med.
(b) Surgeons
(3) It appears that Zimmer is very strong in terms of servicing Surgeons, and therefore, will have an opportunity to introduced them to Orthovisc.
However, for the most part, surgeons like to do surgery.
(4) We are not sure, but hoping, that AHP will service group (a) above, because this group is less prone to select surgery and given a particular situation would introduce a patient to Synvisc if the situation warranted that type of treatement.
I hope that my rendition is true to the spirt that you were trying to communicate to me.
Regards,
John |
