AAPS News May 2014 – Do Doctors Expire in 10 Years?. – H.L.

First, the absurdity hit teachers. Now it looks like doctors are next on the list. I have been both a teacher and a medical professional (EMT-B).

What was important was the actual practice and contact under the tutelage of another professional. The tests and classes have all been money-making experiences for the state and a grand waste of time and resources.
