May 2006


An article in the May 1 issue of Time, titled “Q: What Scares Doctors? A: Being The Patient“, struck a chord with me. While a lot of it was about things specific to the situation of doctors being patients, there was a quote that really got my attention.

I’m going to turn a slightly crude phrase here: “The doctors, hospitals, and insurance companies are involved in a pissing contest, but it’s the consumers who are getting soaked.” Please feel free to quote me on that one.
