Dr.(?) Packer, re: tobacco Don't know how to respond. "having trained in competitive places" - where? IMO, it might take training in a poor place to really understand some stuff. At Vanderbilt I missed a lot of the humanity that I see here at Memphis. Next year, I'm at Stanford (back to the "competiive places"), so maybe I'll regain my ideals and go back to attacking the pathophys rather than patient (lack of) responsibility. "Doctors are just health engineers...squeeze salaries." Boy I hope not. IMO, there are many good-intentioned doctors, and a lot of the idealistic ones that took on $150-200,000 worth of debt because they really wanted to help are getting hurt the most by the $80,000 salaries. "drecky management" - So should physicians be allowed to form unions and strike? I think the lay public doesn't realize how little most residents think about money. Load after load of naivete is being fed into the mouths of the marketplace and its resident monster, managed care. I don't know that there's a balloon to be popped. I just see a lot of gray. Good Investing, Mike
