With its "tort reforms" Texas has seen a huge surge in physicans moving into or back to the state. Many of these physicians are moving from Oklahoma. Also, many patients from Oklahoma are choosing to go to Texas as well as the choice of physicians is better and there are high risk OBs, neurosurgeons etc. Oh, I forgot.

In fact, I cant find a single physician in our area that actually gets the thing. We rely on the peer reviewed journals in our specialty journals which carry the real weight of medicine. The NEJM is more of an opinion piece of the Massachusetts Medical Society but seems to be the prefered medical journal for reporters and attorneys. It tends to be very political, opinionated and lacking in statistical significance. It is not supprising that they are now choosing to release conflict of interest information, they only problem is that they should have been doing it for years as have the "real preeminent medical journals".
