I tend to think of "medical instruments" stocks as more tech that happen to
be related to the medical field, than as medical stocks. But I agree, some
of the HMOs have done very well. But I am not sure of their future
potential.

I have never closely followed the drug stocks, anymore than the biotechs,
simply because I cannot understand them well enough. Seems to me, tho, that
the drug stocks as a collective group go thru a cyclical pattern of
performance.

I don't know if they ever qualified as market leaders, but stocks in the
medical
sector, such as HMO stocks (USHC, UNH, PHSY) were some real stars for a
while,
and medical instruments (STJM, MDT) is another sector that typically has
strong
performance, drug stocks another part of the overall medical area that
usually  has
performed well (kinda weak now though).
