I'm glad to see you posting on Lactnet, Mr. Hawkins, and I hope this is an
indication that Medolac is willing to speak publicly about its products.

Can you please indicate which hospitals are using your product? I know the
list doesn't like advertising, so it might not be allowed for you to post
product endorsements from enthusiastic users, but perhaps a simple list of
hospitals would be allowed? And would you also be so kind as to also
publish your product price list? Thank you,
