                                         (File No. 333-127608)

Ladies and Gentlemen:

     Reference is made to the above captioned registration statement (the
"Registration Statement") filed by Team Health, Inc. (the "Registrant") with

2005, affiliates of The Blackstone Group ("Blackstone") completed the
acquisition of the Registrant. Blackstone and the Registrant have determined
not to pursue the initial public offering of common stock contemplated by the
Registration Statement. The Registration Statement has not been declared
effective by the Securities and Exchange Commission, and no shares of common
stock of the Registrant have been or will be issued or sold by the Registrant
under the Registration Statement. Accordingly, pursuant to Rule 477 of the
Securities Act of 1933, as amended, the Registrant hereby requests the
immediate withdrawal of the Registration Statement together with all exhibits
thereto.

     Please forward copies of the order consenting to the withdrawal of the
Registration Statement to the undersigned via facsimile at 865-560-0295, with
a copy to Edward P. Tolley III at Simpson Thacher & Bartlett LLP at

     Please do not hesitate to call the undersigned at 865-293-5500 or Edward
P. Tolley III of Simpson Thacher & Bartlett LLP at 212-455-3189 or Mary Kuan
of Simpson Thacher & Bartlett LLP at 212-455-2257 with any questions you may
