My poor Doctor...and he's such a good one. How will the Health Care industry deal with a 1990+ page manual that changes every aspect of our medical lives?

No, actually my doctor deserves what he gets. He doesn't drive a fancy car or own several houses and he's still married to his only wife. He's kinda' a throw-back.

And yes...poor us too. We'll all be in the poor house soon, slaves to the masters in Washington.
