Take Medicine Back acutely recognizes that physicians face the very real possibility of physicians facing retaliation when standing up for their ethics and patients. For that matter, so does the Senate Committee on Homeland Security. While there are no guarantees in cyber-security, we are designing membership to both empower and protect physicians' anonymity to the best degree possible.
