Question: With where your ASC is at today and where things are headed, what makes you nervous?
Ms. Vecchio: What makes me a little bit nervous moving forward is some of the physicians that are out there and available, there's competition just like there is everywhere. The surgery centers in my area are outstanding. They're extremely efficient, just as we are. What makes you a little bit nervous: Is someone else going to outperform you or offer something that you can't offer, which might distract potential new recruited physicians from your center?
