As I was pulling the most read stories for this year, I was struck by the number of stories with unfinished business.
The No. 1 most read story was the news that Drive DeVilbiss was struggling under $600 million in debt, as reported in the Wall Street Journal. Also cracking the top 15 (see below) was a subsequent story about providers going on alert about possible changes at Drive DeVilbiss due to its debt, and a story about the company securing $35 million in new capital, as well as a reduction...

YARMOUTH, Maine - All eyes were on the big guns—Drive Medical, Invacare, Inogen and ResMed—in 2015.
Or so it would appear, according to the five most read vendor stories for the year.

With DeVilbiss and some of the other acquisitions it has made in the rehab market, Drive is clearly trying to...

It's Friday, which means it's Newswire day. I could stop there, but we're also pasting up the October issue (the pre-show issue for Medtrade!) and it's the prelude to the HME News Business Summit on Sunday (there's still time to register!).
In other words, we're busy around here at HME News world headquarters.
So with that, here's a quick but interesting post on the most read stories on our website so far this year, from Jan. 1 to Aug. 31.
'Chaos' erupts...
A dose of trouble mixed with a dash of opportunity
December 10, 2012Liz Beaulieu, Editor
A relatively small group of vendors dominated the headlines of HME News in 2012.
Four of the most read stories in 2012 had to do with three vendors that found themselves in the crosshairs of the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for much of year, each for numerous violations.
