Doctors in Hancock County upset at volunteers

Interesting debate. I have to side with the volunteers, but do appreciate the doctors' positions.

From Redorbit.com

"The few local doctors who have reopened practices in the county don't see it
that way and Gallup and her staff have already met staunch resistance. The
concern is this: As local doctors slowly start to return, they -- like thousands
of others here -- will have to rebuild their homes and business, but they'll
have to do it while continuing to pay hundreds of thousands of dollars for malpractice insurance and other fees.

Many of the county's physicians lost their homes and offices to Katrina's winds and water and they fear the free clinics may be stealing what's left of their clientele. "
