Appeal Filed in Physicians' Ongoing Lawsuit Against ABIM
"ABIM has created a lucrative new revenue source by forcing internists to buy MOC.

Two ER Physicians Lend Their Opinion on Reopening the Economy
"Typically you quarantine the sick. When someone has measles you quarantine them. We ’ve never seen where we quarantine the healthy." "We’ve tested over 4 million… which gives us a 19.6% positive out of those who are tested for COVID-19. So if this is a typical extrapolation 328 million people times 19.6 is 64 million.

Addendum: YouTube brought down the videos included in this blog post because they claimed it violated their terms of use. I found that very disturbing that non-anonymous US physicians were silenced during these unprecedented times. I believe we should promote (and not silence) legitimate, respectful, critical debate.

Rethinking the COVID-19 "Pandemic"
The front page headline of the Wall Street Journal this morning read: "Stocks Rally in Face of Downturn." Why? Perhaps they know something we don't? Or have we been too manipulated by fear to look critically at what has just happened thanks to a little-known RNA virus? I realize that most of the blog posts here lately have been critical of the American Board of Medical Specialties and their (Source: Dr. Wes)
