"Organized medicine appears powerless"

After 32 years, this doctor seems to gives up:

I am totally disillusioned with medical practice and all the hassles associated with trying to care for patients. Let’s go down the list:

* The government and health insurers blame doctors for overcharging patients.
* The legal profession blames doctors for practicing poor-quality medicine—while these same lawyers are getting rich off the system.
* Regulatory agencies blame us for not doing enough or spending more time in the office.
* Liability insurers blame us for the ever-increasing number of lawsuits.

Meanwhile, organized medicine appears powerless, sitting on the sidelines. If the current trend persists, I am afraid we are heading for a medical meltdown.
