Ladies and Gentlemen;

I haven't said too much on here lately, primarily because I am a soldier,
not a Doctor. I'll warn you up front, I deal with life and death too, so I
lay it on the line. But here's my two cents, for what its worth.

For just about everything I do, I have a license. S.C.U.B.A.? I have a
license. Amateur Radio? I have a license. Drive a car? I have a license.


What do these things have in common? A) They are all things that I enjoy
doing, and are important to me. B) The licensing procedures are easy
because they always cover what I should know in order to properly and safely
conduct whatever it is that I am getting licensed for.

You would spend time to get a license to drive, but caring for a patient
isn't important enough for you to worry about it? You're worried about
taking an exam because someone might say you don't know what you have been
claiming to know to your patients? Maybe you should think about placing
your patient before your self.

Thanks for listening.
Very truly yours,
Chris Rapp
