Dear ABIM: Apparently, you have overlooked Option C, which is telling @ABIMcert to pound sand.

Here’s some Friday humor from our friends at @ABIMCert Q: What’s the difference between ABIM and a catfish? A: One’s a scum-sucking bottom-feeder and the other one’s a fish.

Since you’re such a strong advocate for popular vote majorities, Bob, what’s the current percentage of practicing internists and IM sub specialists who support you and your Cartel Cronies’ usurped authority over 25% of US Physicians? Not counting the ones feeding at your trough.

High irony coming from a Sycophant paid to carry water for a self-appointed, unelected Cartel with a brutal history of using their usurped powers to crush dissent of practicing physicians who object to Cartel extortion.

Dear @ABIMcert, I have exercised my preferred option, which is to deactivate ABIM. You parasites will never see another dime from me again. All the best, -Ed

blog.abim.org/out-of-the-clo… Maybe one month ABIM can elevate the voices of physicians who belong to the exploited ABIM Diplomate community.

Actually, Harry left Rich Baron, Christine Cassel and the rest of the Cartel Cronies as rich men & women and the rest of us paying for it, as his legacy.

When they’re finished, maybe the FTC can investigate @ABIMCert and the rest of the Quality/Cert Cartel over how their “businesses”affect cost and access to physician care.

Unless the medical misinformation generates millions in tax-advantaged ABIM/F revenue, for which ABIM's self-appointed Cartel Cronies are completely unaccountable. Fixed it for you, @ABIMFoundation
Taking a clear and firm stance against #medicalmisinformation is essential to maintaining public trust, the integrity of medical professionalism, and our Physician Charter. @RichardBaron17 @yejnes @NEJM
Cartel-speak translation: Read about the thinly-disguised Standards for Perpetual Certification Revenue that will serve as a tax-advantaged cash lifeboat for Member Boards’ self-appointed Elites through extortion of practicing physicians, providing nothing of value to the public.
Read about the newly-approved Standards for Continuing Certification that will serve as a framework for Member Boards’ programs and bring increased value to diplomates and the public. bit.ly/3CGBYB8 #MedEd

A Message From Dr. Richard Baron About COVID-19 Misinformation blog.abim.org/a-message-from… When will @richardbaron17 take action against himself and his self-appointed ABIM Cronies for their own unprofessional and unethical behavior?

Not to be confused with revisionist history, which is written quite quickly after the actual history.
Replying to @MrWBond
History is written slowly.

Entry to physicians’ wallets isn’t one of them either, Bob, but you and your Cartel Cronies don’t seem to understand that.

High Irony, coming from the Elite Professional Medical Politician "Don't Call Me Ingenix Andy" Andy Slavitt on How Politics Became a Public Health Crisis medpagetoday.com/opinion/mar…
ABIM-speak translation: The latest self-appointed ABIM Chief Crony explains how ABIM will continue innovating its usurped authority to sell the right to practice Medicine and engaging the Internist community, at least their wallets. blog.abim.org/quarterly-news…
