Latest review

Outcome: Drawn back.

Motivation:
After nearly 10 months in-review without reviewer response and multiple requests for updates from the journal, I decided to withdraw the article. A colleague at the journal has remarked about the poor management of the journal, and while much of what I cite comes from BMC HSR, I no longer have confidence I will receive a decision.
