Come on, @TheEconomist, can’t you wait until after Halloween to burst our chocolate bubble? I’m a scientist at heart, but I might put one hand over the conclusions in this article … while I use the other to pick up the next piece of chocolate. https://t.co/lXaIC22neF

Good news: According to a recent #MGMAStat poll, #MedicalPractice staff morale is on the rise. What’s not surprising is how some practices turned things around: compensation resets and including people through better communication and recognition. https://t.co/qYJvpFrtnC
