Too many or Too few doctors.

| No Comments

It all depends. A report issued jointly by the AAMC and the ACGME, reported today in the Washington Times suggests more doctors are needed to deal with the expected aging "boomers" which is fueling the epidemic of chronic diseases. The study is seriously flawed because its fails to address the need for primary care physicians instead of just training more specialists. We seem to learn nothing from watching the rest of the world. The training system sponsored by the medical professionals who make up the AAMC and ACGME arrogantly assume they know best, yet agian continue to lead us to one more medical disaster after another by training the wrong type of physician/medical team for the tasks ahead of us. Further, they make their proposals in the abscence of changing the medical-health care system for the better and failing to address the millions of citizens without health and medical coverage.
