Great quote from a great doctor

"I am an ordinary member of the Royal Australian College of General Practitioners.

RACGP is openly industry funded. To my knowledge no senior RACGP person has expressed publicly any concern that industry funding is problematic.

RACGP, in cooperation with the Australian government, forces GPs to chose between accepting significantly lower incomes or doing "Continuing Professional Development" which is largely drug funded promotion disguised as education.

I hope that sometime in the future I will be able to contribute to reform of the RACGP from within and/or from without."
