Consumer expectations
o 1. Our consumer is more knowledgeable of treatment options. They know that
they can shop around and are beginning to do just that.
o 2. With so many advancements in medical technology, consumers expect that
their diseases are treatable and are willing to go through these invasive and costly
treatments as they expect to live a long life.
