   Your first hand experience is evident in your answers. Following PCP's advice (even indirect recommendations) is good - it makes sense - of course, as long as the PCP himself/herself is a good doctor :-) The difference between r

   Thanks for the first point - pointed out by marckemil and you. Agree with almost everything which you said. Regarding the last point, I guess the exception would be those small "niche hospitals" which are not that well known, but

   Sorry to hear about what you had to go through. Hope he is doing well now. Of course, trial and error makes sense when you don't have any other option.

   Thanks, having a similar value system to yours is indeed important. Larger cities obviously have an advantage in this respect. I guess even in small towns, it is one way to filter.

    If you want a different perspective, "Softwar" is a good read. The author (Matthew Symonds) worked directly with Ellison to write the book (as opposed to other books which were written based on third party accounts and public info

    Also, the fact that once you have almost complete monopoly in the enterprise market, only a huge paradigm shift will knock you down. Most of the times, the market leaders are able to adapt, and the clients give them a lot of leeway - not th

    If you want to know the history of Oracle, "Softwar" is an excellent book. It includes Ellison's notes too, wherever he felt he needed to add them.

    Give it a go. Actually doing it and learning from your failure or success is much better than endless analysis of niches. Just make sure to have definite goals to make sure you are making progress along the way. If you miss goals continuous
