Physicians Are Talking About: The Million Med March on Washington

Interesting commentary. Angry doctors who are not getting what they expected with the Kenyan.

[Dr. Scarpetta]

Very impressive...

Please DO NOT misunderstand my reasons for producing these two videos. If folks want to gather together to let “them” know that “we,” like Howard Beal in “Network” are “…mad as hell and not going to take it any more…,” it’s STILL – for the time being anyway – a relatively free country so we can do that.

All I’m saying here is that, especially in tough economic times, there are more EFFICIENT and EFFECTIVE ways to expend our FINITE RESOURCES.

It’s not as much fun as sweating on the Mall but there IS a better – and less costly — way to scare hell out of “them” — and you won’t even have to leave home.

Make lots of popcorn. We are just seeing the beginning of a ground swell. The administration has still not figured out this is not Venezuela or Cuba.....

[Qwackertoo]

Good. I hope many more go. I was at my ob/gyn doctor for my annual check up after skipping last year and told him, I thought I better come before ObamaCare passes . . . and he said yep, it might be five years before you can get back in for another appointment. I support our doctors 100% and feel that tort reform should be passed before any of this other non-sense.

[Freedom2specul8]

I would love to see this a success. Amazing..what I would hope is, that they support consequences for true malpractice cases and not frivilous cases.. Consequences that sting...

I would hope any proctologists traveling to Washington on that day take a few extra hours to apply their skills wherever needed...

There were a number of doctors in DC on 9/12. I met a fair number of Indian doctors, as well, who obviously didn’t come here because they wanted to make $5 a visit and be stuck handing out aspirin as the treatment of choice. They thought that we were the cutting edge scientifically; but not under Bambi, we’re not. It was interesting talking to them.

[Trust but Verify]

gimmee a date, I will move heaven and earth to be there!!

This time lets get some aerial shots of the crowd. This will shake up Washington.

This is not Venezuela or Cuba .... yet. He's got three years and a few months to work on it.

[SE Mom]

Right now on C-span 2 the senate is having a live hearing of some kind- or it’s just a working group...fascinating- they’re sitting around talking about.. if this, then that...there is no agreement at aLL.

[Chong]

HA! I like it.

“I’m tired, mad as hell, and just not going to take it anymore,” says Richard Chudacoff, MD, a gynecologist from Las Vegas. “I am going to Washington, DC. At noon, on Thursday, October 1, 2009, I will be on the Mall with a few other physicians.”

[Fu-fu2]

I saw alot of people dressed in “scrubs” at the march too, I assumed they were representatives from the medical profession.

[Kleon]

"We simply decided that we will not work that day and perhaps the day before and maybe even the day afterward," says Dr. Chudacoff. "Perhaps we will show the country that physicians are worth more than a $5 copay; that physicians are more important than a mid-level healthcare worker; and that our profession is needed, our services are required, and our practice is a calling to be respected, not a trade that is to be negotiated to the lowest bidder."

Would someone think of our impoverished doctors, PLEASE?

Anyone in the area who can be there to support doctors should be there. This is where we find out who the weasels are who support Obamacare. Nurses, aides, laboratories, radiological businesses, pharmaceutical companies (those on the up and up) and medical insurance companies (such as Humana) should be walking along with the doctors IMHO. All stand to be dramatically impacted by this healthcare plan (the devilish delight of the democrats).

Most DR’s get it. Sadly many nurses don’t.

You are about to be worked to death for less pay.
It always results in the best and the brightest leaving the profession and lower standards for the patients.

But hey, they are plenty of greenhorn Muslim DR’s from Pakistan and Indonesia willing to come to Amerikka to replace the quitters.

Perhaps thats the plan.
It seems to be working out well in UK, Canada and France.
