Random thoughts from a few cantankerous American physicians. All contributors are board certified. Various specialties are represented here.

It is over for doctors everywhere in this country.
ReplyDeleteAnd therefore for patients as well.
ReplyDeleteIMO, Roberts vote was not what you think. It was pure strategy. If this was all struck down, Republicans would surely lose the election - reason being healthcare must be a campaign point for them, without it they are done for. No president or party can change the economy/jobs... why it's not discussed at any depth.
ReplyDeleteFYI, never been a member of anyone's party but my own, suckers.
-SCRN
All I'm sayin is Roberts better not have one of his fits around me....
ReplyDeleteJeez-us, the guys a friggin Epileptic, can't drive a car legally, but gets to rule on the Constitution?...
And I'd be-a packin up my game and movin to somewhere more hospitable to my peoples, umm maybe Terror-an, if I didn't stand to make millions from my Cash-Only-F-Informed-Consent-Garage-Epidural-Vasectomy-Spa...
Frank "Tax THIS" Drackman
Nine practicing docs about to discuss health care decision and how it will affect them on Fox America Live ....should be interesting
ReplyDeleteFrank,
ReplyDeleteYou selling shares for your business? Yay, everything is free now!!
I wonder how many docs are leaving medicine because of this crap.
ReplyDeletepriceless1
The docs that were interviewed on Fox today included some in private practice as well as some in academic positions. As can be expected those who were in private practice told the entire truth about how bad this socialist law is for them and called out the academic doctors on the truth....very different ....although all agreed this was not good for physicians as a whole...,depressing to watch.
ReplyDelete@ 9-11
ReplyDelete"Shares"?? umm who knows, look how that Zuckerman dude turned out...
But seriously, after deducting malpractice, CME hassles, the stress/paperwork/PTSD from that 600lb Pap Smear in 1987(The Horror! The Horror!)I look FORWARD to spending some time at the Pawnshop...
And there's a backroom where we do the Credit "Counseling" that would be perfect for off-the-books Snip-Jobs...
