Well, just don't be romanced by the word "digital". As the story explain,
it's not a panacea. But, the doctor *does* have to pay for the equipment, so
the doctor has to advertise using the right words, ya know? Sort of like
tire dealers who attract customers who think nitrogen's a lot better than
regular air in the tires.
