The mission of this blog is to connect us back to the roots of medicine. It is about fighting back against those things that are taking us away from the direct care of patients while still pointing out the lunacy and hypocrisy of this job.

States Lining Up To Drop P4P For Doctors
I only wish the headline was true. It is, though, what is happening to the No Child Left Behind law because it has caused nothing but headaches due to teaching to the test. President Barack Obama signed an executive order allowing states to request waivers from mandatory participation in the program Right now at least 27 states are going to opt out. The same problems the states have with this law is the same problem doctors are having and will have with pay-for-performance. It is bad for patients and bad for doctors. It takes the art out of medicine.
