Great Forbes article on the downsides of "doctors pushing buttons"

The number 1 patient complaint I hear is "I wish my doctor spent less time listening to me, and more time pushing buttons." .....

Of course I never hear that.  Patients want their doctors to listen to them.  This recent article at Forbes goes into details discusses how pervasive the problem is- it's a really big deal.

Every physician I know wants to be a patient advocate.  From a patient perspective- we need YOU to be your physician's advocate, by voting and writing for your congressman.  If you want your physician to listen to you more, we need you to help us, by stop having government requirements force us to click buttons.  Enough is enough!
