Thanks for the plug, Bert.

Nothing funny to say about the AMA. I'm not a fan of any of the big professional societies, they all left small practice docs in the dust running after MACRA.

About the recent dressing down we all got from the Surgeon General about opioid prescribing: does anyone remember the "Fifth Vital Sign" campaign several years ago, and how doctors were under treating pain, blah, blah, blah. Seems to have been forgotten by the big medical muck-a-mucks. Someone even retracted the article!
