DrRich: “Most persecuted Puritans did not migrate to the New World (where they faced hurdles arguably even more off-putting than the threat of malpractice suits and specialist-dominated credential committees). Most Goths, upon being overrun by the invading Huns and facing the choice of absorption or migrating to territory occupied by somebody else, did not move south to sack Rome. Most PCPs will likewise accept their fate, and simply try to make the best of it.”
