cinephile Posted April 28, 2011 Share Posted April 28, 2011 Should these poor, poor, put-upon, stressed-out and overworked doctors have to buy their own steak dinners? A lot of people in Massachusetts don't seem to think so. Read the link below for more. And good on Dan Carlat for posting this. His sarcasm is invigorating! *PS: Once you're down with reading the post, check out the older blog post below, where Dr. Carlat debates a Boston restaurateur about how pharma-funded dinners are NOT in the patient's interest. The restaurateur's ignorance and bias is simply jaw-dropping, and I've met many people like him who trust their doctor WAY too much. If he weren't so typically Boston abrasive, I'd perhaps feel sorry for the poor sod!
