Canon PowerShot G11 10MP Digital Camera with 5x Wide Angle Optical Stabilized Zoom and 2.8-inch articulating LCD Canon has finally listened to us photography buffs and given us SLR performance in a compact camera. The large sensor surface area gives more light per pixel resulting in excellent low light performance. Perhaps the best compact camera made to date. Excellent macro lens, and the ability to use an external flash makes this perfect for medical photography

Asus Eee PC Laptop - Only 2 Pounds Starting at $299.99.   You may never have heard of Asus, but they have been the top computer component manufacturer for many years. Get a discount and free shipping on what's become the hottest computer on the market. I recommend the Asus Eee 1000HE model. It has an 160 GB hard drive, Windows XP, 1 GB memory, an amazing 9.5 hour battery life, a 10" screen, built in camera, bluetooth, wireless network, and weighs less than half as much as a typical laptop, all for $375 shipped.  Asus also makes a version similar to the Apple MacBook Air laptops with a solid state 40 GB hard drive, LINUX OS, 15 second startup: ASUS "Airbook"with Solid State Drive $387 . Increase the Asus "Airbook" storage to 56 GB for $33 by plugging in a Kingston 16GB Secure Digital High Capacity (SDHC) Like the MacBook Air, these don't have a optical drive.

Medical Supplies:

Andanet: Generic and Brand name supplies at a Discount Andanet is a division of the generic drug manufacturer Watson. You can get brand name and generic injectables, supplies, and pharmaceuticals at a substantial discount. Their typical brand name injectable prices are 20% less than my AMA contract rate with Henry Schein. Generic pharmaceuticals are often a fraction of the Henry Schein price.
