I would like to commend editor-in-chief Diana Mason for her clear, concise, and encouraging reply to the AMA's letter ("The AMA Takes Umbrage," Letters, December). It's nice to know that someone is looking out for the best interests of the nursing profession. I hope Dr. Reardon and all of the AMA read it.
