Too Many Doctors in Port Angeles?

From everything I’d heard, there’s a shortage of doctors in this area. A lot of them aren’t accepting new patients, and some of them will be retiring soon, making the shortage even worse.

That’s been the “conventional wisdom” anyway. But now, according to two articles in yesterday’s PDN (here and here), we actually have too many doctors. We have so many doctors that they’re driving each other out of business.

So which is it? What’s your take?
