Just wanted to give an update of the status of the situation at Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center in Boston. According to a story published in the Boston Globe, physicians are banding together to donate $350,000 to help fend off layoffs. A lot of organizations talk about banding together, but it seems like it’s more than talk at BICMC. Kudos to them!
