When asked what one thing they'd most like to change about medicine, many physicians' answers echoed their frustrations. One radiologist responded that he would change the "constantly declining reimbursements in the face of more demands for immediate perfect service..." An anesthesiologist would change "the way business administrators and insurance carriers dictate how I practice medicine." And a general surgeon put it simply: he'd change the "cost of malpractice and litigation."
