title: Manage or be managed.
abstract: Has managed care taken over medicine in Texas? By Laurie Stoneham, Associate editor David Rogers, MD, remembers what it was like working in his dad's grocery store growing up in Tahoka, Tex. "I feel like I was treated better professionally as a grocery sacker than I am as a physician nowadays. That's hard to tolerate." Dr Rogers is not alone. Many physicians in Texas feel as though something has gone terribly wrong with a profession that's about helping people. Somewhere the sense of fair play has been lost.
