Drs Gordon et al1 discuss patient care from a monetary viewpoint. This seems to be a clear declaration that managed care promotes policies designed to collect funds while giving as little attention as legally feasible to the patient in our medical-legal society. I do not wish to sound overly altruistic, but I would like to see a return to the idea that even negative results of a physical examination build the relationship between a doctor and a patient, and this relationship cannot be measured in monetary terms.
