Dear Allen,
ONLY ONE surgeon!!! FAX machine attack on congressman?
But surely,American surgeons were NOT demonstrated not to
cut the budget of AHCPR which means "Yes,we surgeons community
also think AHCPR ought to be cut down the budget".
So, I conclude that both the man made dummy organization and surgeon's
community are the same opinion about AHCPR.
Best wishes
Saio
