When I pick up my copy of FP News and read the headline “XYZ procedure best done in primary care office, says XYZ organization”……

I don’t even need to know what XYZ procedure is. Instinctively I know that XYZ procedure is either massively time-consuming, or the reimbursement just got massively cut.

Sorry, the 30% cut won’t get him close to the $90K I earned last year.
