Venom? Yes. Wow. Are we angry or sad or both, doctors? I will gladly leave your blog if you like. Thought this might be a 'discussion' board for problems and issues we all face in the medical field...guess I was wrong. I won't sling mud. Know only that I think the doctors in our group are wonderful, hard-working, dedicated people. We value them tremendously. Obviously ,without them, there would be no medical group, hospital, or job for me. Good luck to all of you. Enjoy your blog.
