My daughter is planning on opening DME store. I hope this works out for her.

A difficult business.
Too many have had to compromise principles in order to succeed.
I wish her luck.
The field needs more decent people in it.

I wish her well. Your exposure will likely add a balanced perspective to the forum.

We do wish her well. Please keep us posted as we are always looking for a good honest DME.
Also let us know if they will take Medicare, do mail orders, etc. or will it just be local.
We are all rooting for her.

A good honest DME is like a good honest auto mechanic. Both enjoy return business. I wish her well.

Mine is one I would call ethical.
They will not order a airtouch 20 cushion for me, because to do so would be operating at a loss.
I respect that, and do not intend to force their hand.
They have treated me fairly, and are the only one in town I can expect that from.

Wait, what IS that twitter button? Says it will put the post on Twitter. Wonder how long I've ignored that. I don't know if I've EVER had a post less than 140 characters.

Aren't you just a sweetie pie. My DME is NOT evil (altho I'm aware many of them are). My first DME didn't get Medicare approval so they recommended another one that did. I've never had the first problem. No, I'm not giving you the name!
