Some of them should quit; some of them never belonged in medicine in the first place. Getting good medical care in this country is getting more and more difficult. In Arizona, its nearly impossible.

According to the article, they're planning on spending "less time with the patient." Lol, how much less than the "normal" 15 minutes can a physician spend with a patient in his/her office?? Maybe drive-through patient care next?
