Abstract
There are some unmistakable trends in the medical laser industry that have persisted throughout its short history. If we may assume that these trends will continue into the next decade, then we can deduce a few of the more obvious outcomes. However, as much as I would like to assure you of the reliability of these predictions, I must admit that what follows is merely science fiction for you medical laser buffs.
