pressing issues under your watch, that I share with you my concerns of imminent and potentially irrevocable harm to the noble profession of medicine, inadvertently injured from healthcare reform efforts that are well underway in our great country.
At the heart of the matter lies the compromised position and plummeting morale of physicians, the only true advocate for patients that are also central to the effective delivery of healthcare, and yet have been effectively left out of the negotiation process. I am a proud member of its ranks, gifted with the privilege to apply my art, knowledge and skills in the unique and individualized care of others in need, fulfilling with pride my responsibility as an advocate in the sacred patient-physician relationship, delineated over millennia through the Hippocratic Oath.

Medical Schools See Gains in Applicants, Minority Enrollment
| | Amid fears of a looming physician shortage, the number of medical school applications and enrolled students showed encouraging growth during the past year, according to newly released figures from the Association of American Medical Colleges.
More than 45,000 students applied to medical school in 2012, up 3% from last year, and first-time enrollment increased 1.5% to 19,517 students, the AAMC said in a news release. The group predicted a 30% spike in total medical school enrollment by 2016.

Clearing Up Confusion on Advance Directives
| | The patient was near death when emergency physician Ferdinando Mirarchi, DO, was called into a hospital room by frantic medical staff. The man was in cardiac arrest and needed to be shocked with a defibrillator. But because he had a living will, the health professionals at his side were uncertain how to proceed.
"Everyone was standing around frozen, saying, 'We're not supposed to treat the patient,' " Dr. Mirarchi said. They "assumed they shouldn't treat him. I came in and shocked the patient."

Liability Premium Relief Good for Doctors, Unsettling for Insurers
|
| Small but persistent declines in medical liability insurance premiums have many insurers concerned about the future of their industry. Yet doctors are benefiting from lower rates and rising competition among insurers vying for their business.
Nearly 60% of premiums nationwide held steady in 2012, and about 26% decreased, according to the Medical Liability Monitor Annual Rate Survey. Only 15% of premiums increased.
Overall, rates fell 1.7% in 2012. In the previous two years, they dipped 0.5% and 0.2%, respectively, the October report said. The result is a continuing "softening" of the medical liability insurance market in the last several years, characterized by declining rates and low returns on investment for insurers.

Disruptive Remedies for the Physician Shortage
| | The University of South Florida's Morsani College of Medicine in Tampa has been training physicians since its charter class enrolled in 1971, but apparently Morsani and other medical schools have not done enough. The physician shortage continues to grow, and the general media rarely misses a chance to pound the public with dire projections - as though the answer is to simply push more students through the education pipeline.
One problem with that simplistic thinking is that the pipeline is constrained by all manner of complex relationships. The Association of American Medical Colleges predicts there will be a shortage of 90,000 physicians nationwide by 2020. But that headline number obscures the complex nature of the physician shortage problem by suggesting that either there aren't enough medical schools or that the ones we have are not big enough. Add to that mix the knowledge that under existing predominant care patterns, the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act will exacerbate the problem by making so many more people eligible for health insurance.
