Dr WES: ABIM Thumbs Its Nose at Senior US PhysiciansYesterday, the President and CEO of the American Board of Internal Medicine (ABIM), in a moment that must have been heartbreaking for him, found himself in the position of having to<span>chasten</span> more than 10,000 unruly senior US physicians, thanks to a <span>petition</span> drive.  In his<span>statement</span>, the aggrieved Dr. Baron, in a plea for common sense, bemoans the fact that physicians do not care enough about patient care or safety to spend $200-400 dollars per year for the ABIM.  This is what the benighted ABIM is up against!  Senior physicians are nothing more than penurious whiners who fail to be appreciative of the Mothership.
