Sun, of course you are right that customers don't choose a supermarket by checking their balance sheet, profit and loss etc. Neither do people choose a tyre supplier by the company's dividends. But you can be sure that a business which is NOT providing those good financial results will NOT be providing a good service [not for very long anyway]. Businesses which try to sell their medical services would of course advertize their success rates, happy patients, comfortable and safe surroundings, efficient service by people with good bedside manner and reasonable prices. They might do a special on skin cancer treatment one weekend. Get your heart operation this weekend, enjoy a 10% discount and get free blood nutrition tests for a year and double your money back guarantee that you'll be alive in three years [qualified customers only - smokers, obese, diabetics, high blood pressure, need not apply] Mqurice
