The Plan of ’96

July 21, 1997

This is a transcription of the recording of part of the 1996 annual meeting of the Federation of State Medical Boards (FSMB), recorded live, April 10th through 13th, 1996 in Chicago, Ill.  It was, in fact, the beginning of the plan to attack cutting-edge practitioners.
