The presidents of the Am Board of Int Med and the Am Board of Pediatrics make million dollar salaries. There is an automatic 25% fail rate for peds boards (more $$ in exam fees) and increasingly higher fees for MOC courses. Corporate medicine is here and has corrupted the entire system.

In the Dune series of books we find a doctor is a major character with an emphasis put on his conditioning to always act in the best interest of the patient. We may see this as a reference to the old Greek “first do no harm” or we can look at this as a reference to our modern society.<br /><br />In the Steve Lucashttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02457363632413213801noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9551150.post-73510169495483156882013-06-26T14:11:22.124-04:002013-06-26T14:11:22.124-04:00That seems fatalistic, or cynical.

His idea was that, when you face a situation that you don't agree with, your options are (1) leave, (2) complain or (3) comply with that situation, even though you might not agree.
