title: Working smarter, not harder.
abstract: Ask Dr. John Scott to identify the biggest enemy faced by those suffering from arthritis, diabetes, and other chronic diseases, and he's likely to tell you that doctors don't have the time and support to fight for their patients' best interests. Now, after 18 years of practice, Scott has begun blazing new frontiers that may revolutionize not only how HMOs and physicians view people with chronic diseases, but how the patients view themselves.
