MOC is only one example of how much our lives do not matter. Only those inside medicine truly know that physicians are overworked and current health care systems are conducive to more medical mistakes. MOC will not help it; on the contrary, it will put additional stress on those providing care.

The Plaintiffs still have a number of days to file amended claims, and the unconvincing nature of the dismissals so far make the grounds for appeal good, in my opinion.
