And most members, like you, elect to do little or nothing about it. Be it from laziness, ignorance, plain stupidity or something entirely different, I don't know. Changes need to be made or the AMA will fade into history. I've attempted in my own way and in my own time and can actually point to one significant change I influenced. But not anymore.

Time for you and your buds to stand up and get to work. But I don't expect you to do so. Because when you get right down to it, it's you who are anti-AMA. Because the one who identifies issues and tries to do something about it risks it all? While those like you who sit back and do the minimum if anything place your lack of caring and concern on display for all to see. And in fact you go so far as to try to discredit anyone who dares to rock the boat? Regardless of why they are doing so.

You have convinced me the average AMA member probably isn't worth my effort and sacrifices. You neither understand it nor appreciate it. Rather, you expect it as part of your perceived entitlements. Good luck with that. You and the AMA will need it.

Professionalism isn't a skill set. It's a behavior. And you don't have it.
