I agree with Wendell and George. My practice consultant sets up my checks for my bills, and I sign them after reviewing them. Every time the Penobscot Medical Association tries to hit me for $50.00 worth of dues, I have to rip up the check. Barbacues and picnics for its members really does nothing to benefit the physicians.
It is sad that with the state medical assosiations, the AAPs, AAFPs and AMAs, etc. we don't already have collective bargaining.
