Cute! On an unrelated note, I've watched medicine change dramatically over the course of many years. The ever increasing cost of healthcare gave rise to the HMO's. In addition, advances in technology have exceeded our ability to pay for it. Seizing the opportunity, big corporations are now running the show. The days of hanging our your shingle are long gone. Doctors are now employees, and are saddled with more administrative duties. Patient satisfaction surveys are now becoming more routine.Yes, doctors are reimbursed well for their time, but the ever increasing demands of the system have put them at a distinct disadvantage. It's a sad state of affairs.
