Opted out of Medicare 01/01/2016 and I am doing just fine.

I am not a burned-out physician because I have taken steps to control my practice therefore, my life. My happiness quotient is high!

With each passing day, I am convinced that not participating in EHR & "meaningless" use was right for my patients & for my practice.

I remember a time in medicine when the Doctor's orders were not mere suggestions and the relationship was with the patient not the computer.
