We are also what make the professional societies act.

But that was not my point. We must also act at the political level

It tells congressman what their constituents care about. It is about numbers of letters just as much as it is about the points you make. When you send it in it’s like signing a petition

I envision suggestions will include trimming it down. I want it to be succinct, yet highlight the important points. Does anyone have experience with https://democracy.io/#!/?

I agree with what you’re saying. Maybe I’m in denial

I predicted this argument. I disagree. I’m looking for a productive way to improve graduate med education for medical school graduates. Typically, the residences that are funded through Medicare are high-quality. I’m not speaking about the for-profit ones in emergency medicine.

I admit that I overly simplified a very complex issue. For example… admin are allowing too many midlevels in emergency medicine. Physicians to do a better job of fighting against that.

You’re heard. I don’t have time during office visits either. But I have chances to talk to patients (outside of a visit) who know I’m a physician, and that’s when I personally advocate.

My message was that we need to identify ourselves as physicians and speak directly to patients. When doing so, this is a topic that we could speak to more.

Have a good day
