Their moral code has taught them to believe that it is safe to rely on the virtue of their victims. Well, that is the virtue I have withdrawn. Let them discover the kind of doctors that their system will now produce. Let them discover, in their operating rooms and hospital wards, that it is not safe to place their lives in the hands of a man whose life they have throttled. It is not safe, if he is the sort of man who resents it—and still less safe, if he is the sort who doesn’t.”<br /><br />Note that last sentence, about it being less safe to depend on a health care professional who does NOT care about intrusions and policies written by non clinicians.<br /><br />What is the adage again, something about silence is death?<br /><br />Oh, and how about those physicians in New York State who have to use e-scribe prescriptions alone or risks fines, or , worse?<br /><br />http://www.medscape.com/viewarticle/860961<br /><br />Obamacare and managed care unleashed, think about it, all you docs out there who did nothing to fight this. Yes, you get the representation you deserve...<br /><br />You know, people tell me to be the mensch, to be polite and respectful, with a bunch of cretins also called politicians, who live by two credos, "popular, easy, and convenient", and, "do as I say, not as I do!"<br /><br />Good luck with that, this is now a street fight, Shrink Rap docs, and just remember this, about 50% of the voting public are seriously entertaining either Donald Trump or Hillary Clinton to represent this country as our next President.<br /><br />Just say "No", hmmm, how did that go for the drug wars promoted by Reagan and his followers? Deeds, not words, but you know that, right...Joel Hassman, MDhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18428102819014299270noreply@blogger.com
