Lawyers Hardly Working As An Asheboro N.C. Doctor Lives Obamacare

As the Raleigh N&O bemoans "no work for new lawyers" (somehow, after what their noble system put this once idealistic, no-longer-young physician through, this heart is not bleeding), there's an interesting article from the Washington Examiner on the piss-poor productivity of the Obama administration's Justice Department.

And, as he attempts to bring the nation's governors into line on his "signature legislation", Obama's fierce statements about the states not denigrating their public workers as they grapple with budget cuts kinda falls like acid on the ears of this former-state-&-Federal public servant who was fired for doing her job the way it was supposed to be done . . . and has been NOTHING BUT denigrated - in just about every venue imaginable ever since.

And of course, in North Carolina, I didn't have a bunch of union bosses to fall back on.

The IRS - charged with being healthcare's "enforcer" under PPACA's new guidelines - couldn't care less that a "non-profit" hospital used, abused and lied to a physician in government service - crucifying her for putting a patient first - and ultimately wasting hundreds-of-thousands of taxpayer dollars.

But hey, when John & Jane Q. Patient needs them, they WILL be there.  Yeah.  Right.

You could say I've live Obamacare since the Clinton administration.  You could also say, Obama doesn't care.

So if, Justice Department lawyers have nothing to do, and if Obama IS what he says he IS, I have a case down here in North Carolina that they could really cut their teeth on.

And if not, it looks like finding a young, hungry lawyer to help out isn't as difficult as it once was.

OBTW, got a notice in the Inbox from one of the Locums companies which may shortly prove helpful in some of my endeavors.

Randolph Medical Associates is recruiting a Pediatrician (again).

It will be interesting to see, given the amount of information that's on the Internet now about how Randolph Hospital/the city of Asheboro really operates/treats Pediatricians (it ain't about care you can trust - and, as an employee, forget about being a "partner" in anything), who will be STUPID or DESPERATE enough to take the bait, and work for the money-grubbing, non-profiteering "team" of Robert Morrison & Steven Eblin.

Unlike lawyers, new doctors these days actually aren't "a dime a dozen".

Mid-morning Update:  The photograph accompanying the N&O's story (of a Muslim lawyer surfing the Internet for jobs at a local Panera Bread shop) has stirred up quite the stink (the N&O loves to prove that its readers are backwoods bigots).  I dropped a comment:

So. Lawyers are a "dime a dozen" these days and we-who've-been-treated-like-pond-scum-by-their-profession are supposed to care?

I have an idea. Let's let the Obama administration set up "reform" for the legal profession . . . you know . . . entice young/idealistic/newbie lawyers into public service in rural and "under-served" areas . . . under iron-clad/strong-arm/indentured-servitude-type arrangements . . . and then STOMP THE IDEALISM out of them.

I also really love the way the N&O chose to stir up the hornets with its choice of photographs.

But let's talk REALITY to those in this thread screaming about bigotry. When, as a "dime-a-dozen" Pediatrician, I returned to my good-ole hometown (under one of those aforementioned indentured servitude arrangements), simply being a single-white-unmarried-female-with-brains-and-opinions automatically made me "gay" (not to mention "arrogant and cliquish") in the land of small-town-values.

I'm sure this young woman, in her traditional Muslim garb, would be welcomed with open arms in some of those communities.

My point is this:  Reality is ugly.  Deal with it.  Get over it.  Move on.  At least that's what I've been told.

Afernoon Update:

The comments on the N&O's thread continue to be interesting - especially those about all the noble, high-minded concepts one learns in law school - indeed even the law itself - not being remotely related to the actual practice of law.

Didn't I learn that the hard way?

It's a lot like putting doctors through nearly a decade of training (or over a decade in the case of subspecialists) in medicine without teaching them the first thing about business.  Better to adopt Obama's preferred models for "reform" and serve them all up to the overpaid MBA's as potential employees . . .

. . . in "right-to-work" states.

Yeah, baby.  That's the ticket.
