    So - the last shoe finally dropped. And it honestly took longer than I thought. I think we got lucky with that extension.

    What do we do now, since we are not on any major GPO?
    - not on HPG (Olympus and BSC)
    - not on Premier (Olympus and BSC)
    - not on Vizient (Cook and BSC)

    Intalere is a joke.

    We are not at the table with Kaiser, and lost out on what was probably our one and only chance with Ascension a few years ago.

    Seriously - we don't have our own laser. We are literally the only "endourology company" that doesn't. Olympus has their own made by Quanta. Cook also uses Quanta. BSC has Lumenis. Dornier has their own that they make. What a train wreck.

    How soon until BD dumps us?

    Let the scope be your salvation. Should be able to leverage that technology.

    Yeah - good one. Because there aren't already 4 other scopes on the market...
