They not only have an employee mentality but a collectivized union mentality at that.<br/><br/>We are among the few societies who demand that our physicians be educated men and women, with at least some liberal education, prior to technical training. We think the public best served by independent thinking gentlemen, not a merely technically proficient cogs.

You can call it a strike if you wish. I will call it a "career change". Medicine is worth a lot but not worth giving up my freedom. Not even life is worth that.

Basically criminal extortion that would justify rounding all of us up and kicking us out of the country or putting us in concentration camps as enemies of the nation. How stupid would the country be to set up a universal government payor system forewarned that the doctors will hold the entire country hostage, like French bus drivers, if we don't get what we want?<br/><br/>He can go on strike agains the HMO's anytime he is ready. I have. Don't deal with them and work only in the free market. He doesn't like the free market? He wants to just be a government piece worker? He can even go on strike against all private payment and accept only Medicare and Medicaid patients.

I am an independent small businessman, not an employee. We do not "go on strike" like a spoiled child who doesn't get his way. Very unprofessional and worthy of a public rebuke.
