Abstract
It seems like just yesterday that the pages between these green covers were filled with dire pronouncements about the child-health manpower shortage. The "pediatric numbers game" was worked to prove that since fewer kids' doctors were going to be around to see more kids, pediatricians couldn't possibly carry the whole load. I was among those calling for "others" to assume many of the tasks traditionally performed by pediatricians. Well, it's worked; the crisis cries were heeded. In the span of two short years, such profound changes have taken place in the manpower game, that general pediatricians in the United States may well be teetering on the threshold of a museum.
