Mary, Thanks for the DD, great job! Mdix IMO, will survive and prosper, or it will be taken out by a more powerful company! Either way, we as the shareholders have to make our own decsions on what will we do. I know what I plan to do. There are many things in the pipeline, I'll be here when they come through. Thanks again! Sandra

Mary, First thanks for an excellent summary that not only includes potential but a good explanation of how they arrived as the present company. One question: you stated that "Profits will come from fees that are collected on a per transaction basis with the fee being based on the transaction being done. " How are these fees to be set? Will each contract with an HMO be a separate negotiation or will there be a set fee for all units? I would guess that each time a doctor asks for information there will be a fee. The HMO or other unit would collect from the doctor and MDIX would collect from the HMO. This sounds like a wonderful money stream and one that would continue to grow as the population ages and increases the number of visits. Also with the population on the move from place to place this would certainly make it easier for a doctor to update records. I wonder if insurance companies might use this service to check records of applicants for pre-existing conditions. I don't know if this information is available since contracts are yet to be announced. Appreciate any input you might have. Oliver

I must emphasize to you that currently, THERE IS NO PRODUCT LIKE IT. Hello, Mary. Your comment reminded me of a software product from about five years ago. At that time in my career, I was a software troubleshooter/consultant working at the National Institute of Health in Bethesda, Maryland. One of the software programs (I can't remember its name) was a search database for all the medical information stored at NIH. The user-interface was lousy, but as I remember, people really relied on that tool. It was a powerful research assistant. I imagine there are many difference between what I saw and the MDIX product, but I thought I'd share that I've seen for myself the kind of excitement (dependence) that can come from one of these medical information search engines.
