Re: Moving target

I am sure that we will all agree that every profession has its problems.
However, it is the only profession that we have and it is up to us to
preserve it. I am sure that we all have had a gripe with the system at some
stage of our lives, but we deal with it and move on.

I am not to surprised that Mr. LaCount has a problem getting his colleages to
help with him having such a negative attitude and I am quite surprised that
he would want to become part of a profession that is so 'infected with such
an old school thought process'.

We are a NCOPE Residency site and I must admit that the residents that come
through our program have positive attitudes and certainly deal very well with
the standards that are set for them. Although there are always issues that
come up, the new ABC exam protocol being one, they deal with it and move on.

The one thing that Mr. LaCount needs to remember is that he is dealing with
patients that depend on him for good care. We are still humanitarians that
need to care and trial and error is not a good option. I am sure that he
agrees that his patient's needs should come first and not be affected by
whatever issue he has with the powers that be.

We can only hope that licencure will force future clinicians such as Mr
LaCount to comply with whatever standards our profession require of us.
