The Cards Are Here!
Howdy from Rock Springs Family Medical Center!
I just got my second batch of postage-paid postcards for patients to send to their legislators for the "Keep Doctors In Illinois" Campaign from my Pfizer representative. (I also got some Viagra samples. And NO they are for patients.)
I am excited that [DecaturPride] has allowed me to be the writer, if you will, of this site for a while. My old buddy Matt Jackson of the now famous Jacksonfile got me into this blogging thing, so I thought I'd do some good with the little time I have.
For those prospective patients out there, stop in to see your doctor, even if you don't have an appointment, and ask the receptionist about the "Keep Doctors In Illinois" postcards that you can send to your Illinois state senators and representatives. I myself have been thinking about moving to Indiana or Wisconsin if medical liability legislation doesn't pass soon. If rates go up any higher in Illinois, I know a lot of my fellow doctors who may retire early or leave the state as well.
PLEASE HELP GET THE WORD OUT! Tort reform is a vital issue for access to healthcare for all Macon County residents, both Democrat and Republican.
I would be curious, anyone out there have any other points of view on tort reform? Anyone heard any stories on how this crisis has affected them or family? I would love to hear what others are thinking.

I wish the democrats would decide who they work for: the people of the state of illinois or the trial lawyers. We need tort reform in this state, but as long as Madigan and his cronies do the will of the almighty ITLA, nothing will get done. It's going to take all them voted out, and a new governor before anything's done in this state. And then, we've got to worry about the activist judges on the supreme court ruling it "unconstitutional" for a fourth time!
