Dismantling America by Thomas Sowell "My Mentor" Just one year ago, would you have believed that an unelected government official, not even a cabinet member confirmed by the Senate but simply one of the many “czars” appointed by the president, could arbitrarily cut the pay of executives in private businesses by 50 percent or 90 percent?

There is certainly some legal risk in unilaterally withdrawing life-sustaining treatment over the surrogate's objections. But the risk of litigation low (because the family is often grateful that the decision was made for them or the damages are too low to attract counsel). The risk of liability is even lower (these are hard cases to win on causation and other elements). I have written about all this...

Non-Clinical Medical Jobs, Careers (Free subscription) | 08/10/2009
It's hard to imagine that a physician would be looking for an "entry-level" job. I use that term to refer to jobs that physicians can get if they lack industry working experience.
