If nothing else, I get some inspiration from reading these posts. We can feel isolated in our long office days with these constant moral/ethical issues and we get inundated with requests/demands that make us feel like we're here to bo the whores of other institutions pushing us around,instead of practicing medicine and interacting with our patients which is what we all really want to do. So many docs just go through the day signing off on every request without stopping to think what the hell they're doing. I know we can't change the "system" individually but I've always said "I can at least try to take care of my little corner of the world and educate a few around me." It truely makes one feel like a rebel or outsider and sometimes question our own methods, but, some interactions like this keeps us grounded and lets us remember that we aren't wrong in our thinking.
