 @ac0791b9 Kevin Drum's analysis of "150% physician increase cant be right,because 'I know it'" is not a very compelling argument when The Match and ACGME are constantly criticized for suppressing residency sslots and training opportunities. 

I'll look at the rest when im not on call, but Unless the BLS, Athena, Becker, Medscape (original source years ago) et al are ALSO all incorrect, and one Kevin Drum is right, then I'll stand corrected.

 @ac0791b9 Ok so i read his full breakdown and im on call. If he wants to dither with AthenaHealth on whst defines admin and be a splitter, not lumper, and his analysis is "1110% increase not 3000%", so be it, but thats not the type of erratum im going to correct or submit to Becker or AthenaHealth for amendment.
