The increasing cost of health care--doctors suffer as well!
At long last there does appear to be general agreement that all is not well with the American health care system. Costs are out of control and the bureaucracy that has been spawned to control costs and administer the financial aspects of health care has developed a mind of its own. Two recent problems within our own department at the University of California, San Francisco, have shown that even doctors can be on the receiving end of these problems, with amusing but potentially serious consequences.
