Your delusions of grandeur are showing again, drmatt. Perhaps if you listened to some “paper pusher” like me, your practice wouldn’t have gone belly up (as you describe in this comment from last week). My job, as the evil finance guy, is to prevent your brand of egotism and naiveté from bankrupting medical practices and hospitals.

I hope you researched you book more carefully than you read my post. Its topic is overtreatment, not “rising health care costs.”

“Read the book and find out how health care actually works …”

Unlike you, I actually work in health care. So, I hardly need your second-hand observations to know “how it reallly works.”

I haven’t read your book, but I have perused a couple of your articles. They read rather like discussions of sex from the perspective of a nun. Nonetheless, I will read it. And, in due course, I’ll offer some commentary … details at eleven.
