[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]^^PS: Just to be clear, this side conversation was about why I should have continued to send hundreds of dollars in dues to the AMA, even after 20 odd years of membership and voting and advocacy from within wasn't going anywhere. Compared to what was -- I suppose -- the worse decision to focus my money, time, and energy into my specialty medical association and work hard in concert with people who agreed with me, instead of those that didn't have any interest in what I was saying.

That's what this was about. You can trace the claims back through the pages if you want.

[i]I[/i] couldn't find a way to change the AMA, other than to oppose it. There's someone (or someone-s) who apparently have some kind of irrefutable proof that there is a way to fix the AMA from within. I don't know, but I think 20 years of trying from was enough to demonstrate that my time and energy was better spent elsewhere, but we can agree to disagree.

That doesn't seem like nihilism to me. [/quote]

Making this all about your personal actions and your personal feelings and what you did and what your cred is…well, it’s consistent with what patients are complaining about here.

I am sorry that you expected a profession where you would principally be treated like a demi-god and instead are now treated as an employee, but again: the power relationship here goes the other way.

You complain sideways or up to someone else who expected to be a demi-god about this, not down to a person who needs the services the health care system—in which you occupy a relatively privileged position—cannot provide.[/quote]
