Doctors forced to make decisions on fee payment schedule.

I have never seen a doc take tonsils out because a kid has a sore throat just because it pays the doc more (and how many pediatricians make any money by referring the kid to a surgeon??????). What a liar.

WOW. So all those years in college and med school were wasted because I clearly only make decisions based on how much I get paid...

I have never been so offended. Now I am 100% convinced that Obama has NO IDEA how the system works because the expensive treatments are the last to ever be approved whether or not they are the most appropriate for the patient. He just contradicted his entire hour of arguments about health insurance, drug costs, etc... Clearly its just us docs being greedy.
