There have not been many opportunities, lately, to provide an editorial or instructive message in most of the blog entries. There is too much important data, too many important stories to pass along that I miss my chance to lecture for a minute. Not ...
The very first blog I ever wrote was about one client's fight with an HMO. Now, more than two years later, I continue the battle. Look at this funny message I received today, edited for brevity and privacy:

They turned our conversation into back-to-back episodes (32 and 33), "Independent Pediatric Practice 2022" and "Data Data Data and Managing a Pediatric Office." If you prefer video, you catch up on their YouTube channel.
