 - Begins with a lie.....lets hope it gets better!!!!On page 35 the book states,".....given the rising concern about an oversupply of physicians in this country...." ABSOLUTE NONSENSE and dangerously UNTRUE!!!! Go to the AMA website ( or Google) and search the following "physician shortage" and see for yourself. I have reproduced the latest result from the AMA below. February 18, 2008 (published) San Jose Mercury News Letter to the editor To the Editor: Patients around the country are feeling the effects of a looming physician shortage. The government predicts a shortage of 85,000 physicians by 2020, just as baby boomers are entering Medicare. The scheduled Medicare cuts would force physicians to limit the number of new Medicare patients they can treat. Cuts will begin in July unless Congress takes action. Already, 30 percent of Medicare patients who are looking say they are having trouble finding a primary care physician. Congress must stop these cuts, which would make an already bad situation worse. Sincerely, Dr. Cyril M. Hetsko AMA Board of Trustees I hope that the rest of the book is better... In the mean time I simply have to express my protest in the most effective way I can ...and yes I did write to the folks at First Aid. Was there an ulterior motive behind this? I don't know and maybe Yale Medicine and UCSF elitism and arrogance had some part to play. That's where the authors are from.
