		<description>What a shock!  The AMA using underhanded tricks and claiming to be &quot;patient advocates&quot; when the real goal is to subvert competition?  This is par for the course for this criminal organization.  The sorry thing is that the American Idolators will (as usual) fall for this swill.&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;~Crminallopath~</description>

		<description>I&#039;ve never berated a physician for how much he/she makes.  They deserve it, based on the education level they&#039;ve achieved.&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;The only time I&#039;ve mentioned it is to remind them of their own humanity when they try to act like everyone else is working for filthy lucre while they&#039;re safely and properly above such things.</description>

		<description>&lt;i&gt;Why do people act like money is a bad thing, when we all use it and work for it every day? &lt;/i&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;I ask the same thing of non-doc posters on this blog, who berate every doc who mentions money, dollar, pay, bill, or uses the symbol $ in any meaningful way. Your comment above applies to you, too.</description>

		<description>A new role for pharmacists in health care?&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;At least one University in the Boston area is now offering a course for pharmacists (RhP) in the administration of vaccinations. &lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt; The RhP already has the legal right to administer flu shots.&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;What&#039;s next?</description>

		<description>&quot;The point made above yours--to which you are willfully obtuse--is that many people sue to see if they can get something for nothing, not &quot;to pay their bills.&quot;&quot;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;Sorry, I can only read what is written - can&#039;t read minds like you.  Tell me, how many people sue to get something for nothing?  10, 100, 1000?  Since you can read minds and all, I&#039;m sure you know.  I&#039;m sure since you&#039;re not gullible you know the answer. &lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&quot;You have obviously not done much screening of workmen&#039;s compensation claims. They are rife with claimant fraud, claims of &quot;injuries&quot; which are not injuries and not work-related. The same is true with many of the &quot;something I didn&#039;t see fell from the ceiling and hit my head when I was shopping for Ding-Dongs at Wal Mart&quot; types of claims.&quot;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;Yeah, employers never deny legitimate claims, and Wal-Mart didn&#039;t get sanctioned millions for not producing documents it was ordered to.  If something fell from the ceiling and busted your head in Wal-Mart, I&#039;m sure you wouldn&#039;t want them to pay your bills, huh?</description>

		<description>11:19, you are trolling as usual.&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;The point made above yours--to which you are willfully obtuse--is that many people sue to see if they can get something for nothing, not &quot;to pay their bills.&quot; Your claim is laughable, really, if it weren&#039;t also both widely spouted and gullibly believed.&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;You have obviously not done much screening of workmen&#039;s compensation claims. They are rife with claimant fraud, claims of &quot;injuries&quot; which are  not injuries and not work-related.

Slow day?</description>

		<description>Of course they sue to get money.  Money is what it takes to pay their medical bills, make up for their lost income, etc.&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;Why do people act like money is a bad thing, when we all use it and work for it every day?  &lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;As for Wal-Mart being bedeviled, I think they&#039;ve got a pretty good handle on it, don&#039;t worry.  However, there are multiple studies, performed by physicians, showing that how you treat your patients is key to whether they even go to see a lawyer to find out if they have a case.  It&#039;s fundamental customer service, and probably another reason many of you wouldn&#039;t survive in a free market.  You lack the skills.</description>

		<description>&quot;Actually, they&#039;re probably less likely to invite lawsuits, because they&#039;re more likely to focus on customer service. &quot;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;So the slew of slip and fall claims and other tort claims that bedevil&lt;br/&gt;the Wal Marts of the world, they wouldn&#039;t exist if customer service were a priority?&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;Most people sue to get money.</description>

And now you&#039;re chief lobbying association is out to stop it?  That doesn&#039;t make sense.</description>
