Let's be serious

Dana, as a physician, I appreciate the question you posed...but please, let's try to refrain from over embellishing the very limited role Daniel Palestrant and Sermo have played in the past few weeks. The AMA, and its 250,000 members, pushed President Obama on tort reform when he addressed their Annual Meeting in July.

Running a survey on Sermo that less than 1% of physicians nationwide responded to and blasting the airwaves with press releases in support of what appears to be a self-serving agenda (at the expense of the AMA and CPT codes), has done little if anything to sway our leaders in Washington.

Following the AMA?s decision to sever ties with his company, all Daniel is concerned about is driving a wedge between physicians like myself and the AMA...and of course, he'll do whatever he can to promote Sermo as a leading voice for physicians when that statement couldn't be further from the truth.

So instead of helping Daniel boost his ego for something he had very little if any input in influencing, let?s focus our energy on crediting the millions of hard working Americans who have fought for health reform over the years.
