are their customer and the source of really their relationship.
And without customers in the context of patients.
For most doctors,
most general practitioners, they would be out of business.
Well, you know, and I know that there is more to it, and
that there are other people that doctors have to engage, and
participate in that are their stakeholders.
And they are a lot of them.
And while they vary in level of influence, and roll, and
responsibility country-to-country, and even to an extent perhaps, state-to-state.
We'll want to talk a little bit about some of the other stakeholders that
are commonly apparent in most societies, and for most doctors.
On the blue fields on the far left,
we want to recognize that there are often prescriptions that doctors write.
Or instruments that they may use to take your weight, to take your temperature.
The, there may be instruments that they use, surgical instruments and the like.
There might be other devices, the implantables, the pacemakers,
the things of that nature.
Well, those are all manufacturing relationships that they have.
It's the pharmaceutical, the medical device, the biotech, the distributors.
That all play a role in that manufacturing base that are stakeholders for doctors,
and their ability to have success, and to bring solutions to their market.
