In America I have rarely gone to a hospital to see a doctor. Most of my doctor visits have been to practices with 3-5 doctors. They could choose differently. what I notice is that doctors are rich and all seem to live in very nice homes and drive fancy cars. They over schedule and waste our time because they want to maximize their profits. Not because they have to. Healthcare in America is about making money and it sucks.
I hear what you’re saying. But these are hard working people who suffered through a residency and have no personal lives. It feels like we’re being crabs in a bucket.
Three overwhelming majority of that profit is going to insurance and pharma shareholders, not to the doctors themselves. The difference between a doctor and a billionaire is about a billion dollars. Everybody ought to be living like doctors and it’s the shareholder’s fault that we aren’t.
Exactly. If it’s at a hospital, then the doctor has little to no say in the matter. I will always blame the bosses before the workers.
