President's Message
President's Message
A front By Deb Moss "Have you noticed the creep of negative, war-like language often used now to describe physicians, especially when referring to primary care physicians? Terms like “frontline” providers or working “in the trenches”, verbs like “slogging through” to describe a day’s work, to depict what it looks or feels like to try to meet the unending onslaught of demands placed on physicians these days." |
