Bill,

In reference to mobile imaging, you wrote:

"it's the same idea as people have the option to shop at home but here they have the option to get their heart scan at home instead of going to the hospital for a minor scan"

Don't mean to burst a bubble here, but it is ludacris to think that these vans run around to peoples homes!
Doesn't happen, no way, never will!

It is so totally cost-prohibitive to even imagine running a mobile diagnostics business like the 'milkman' of your great-grandmas day.
They don't show up at your front door with choices like butter, eggs and glass bottles of heavy cream.

The actual concept is to have a particular doctor reserve a morning or afternoon time slot, once or twice a week, whereby the mobile service shows up to perform previously scheduled imaging.

Again, what makes the concept more dicey as time goes on is the fact that some of the imaging equipment is getting real, real cheap.
