To the Editor:
It is incumbent to push back on the comments that Dr. Parag Mehta of the Medical Society of New York made in his letter to the editor in Crain's ("Patients prefer—and deserve—to be treated by the best and most highly trained physicians").
Our nation's health care system has moved past the ideals discussed by Dr. Mehta. We must look to all providers from across the health care spectrum to provide care to the top of their education and clinical training. It is only when we leverage all our valuable resources that the health care system will work for patients and providers alike.
