First, it's not 83% of doctors surveyed, it's 83% of the less than five percent who were cranky enough to bother to respond to this spam push-poll of loaded questions designed for no other purpose than to create a false impression.<br /><br />So indeed is the question what they're actually responding to-- the actual survey says that 83% of doctors are thinking about quitting, but not about why. <br /><br />Fed up with fucking surveys from spammers, I'd guess, it'd be enough to drive me out of business.Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02164601137261678473noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3856837.post-63470103633069573712012-07-10T15:00:07.713-04:002012-07-10T15:00:07.713-04:00Wow. 2 trolls on one post.

So, they got a 4.3% response rate on their survey. And instead of concluding that only the absolutely most pissed-off and motivated people bothered to reply to their <i>fax spam</i>, they're claiming that the results are representative of all doctors nationwide. Sure, that's credible.TooManyJenshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13239014526067001801noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3856837.post-263623254852877932012-07-10T13:12:39.966-04:002012-07-10T13:12:39.966-04:00Like you all don't have partisan polls.

For one thing, most of them aren't fit to do anything else. For another, when's the last time you saw a practicing doctor driving a 2nd-hand Chevy? Nope, the status and money are far too good for "quitting" over politics, & neither will decline appreciably no matter what healthcare plan the US has or doesn't have.BHhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12991272246814476124noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3856837.post-47329998194906960462012-07-10T09:56:43.058-04:002012-07-10T09:56:43.058-04:00I wonder if I should move to canada for better hea...I wonder if I should move to canada for better healthcare?

It only encourages them.<br /><br />‘“…a nonpartisan association of doctors and patients dedicated to preserving free choice in medicine. The organization is a member of the National Tea Party Federation and the “American Grassroots Coalition.”’<br /><br />“Nonpartisan?”<br />Associated with National Tea Party Federation and the American Grassroots Coalition – and it’s “nonpartisan.”<br /><br />WOW!<br />Whodathunk it: NONPARTISAN!<br />Nope, not a trace of partisanship. Why would anyone ask?<br /><br />And, of course, the MSM will dutifully report these doctors as nonpartisan.<br />And people will think, “WHOA! 83%?!!!!!”<br /><br />And not one of these doctors will ever actually quit, of course – they ain’t stupid – they’re “nonpartisan.”<br />They are Conservatives who like the status quo and their income, and want Obama and the Democrats to lose – so they’ll say anything to help make that happen.<br /><br />And this 83% is a number – so it’s a stat – and the MSM always looks for stats to back-up Conservative bullsh*t. They loves them some o’ them Conservative stats!<br /><br />Democratic ones? Eh, not so much. To many numbers, too many explanations for them.<br />But 83% of doctors surveyed? That’s nice and simple.<br /><br />I wonder if, in another survey, these same doctors would recommend leeches for bleeding amemic patients – or those suffering gaping wounds from chainsaw accidents?Victorhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06609452382111686086noreply@blogger.com
