Doctors are still the richest demographic.
With arguably the most important skill set in our society. Who cares how much they make? I want my doctor to be high level and high paid. You act like they should be paid the same as the guy bagging your groceries.

That racist POS should be hung. Give him a little taste of his own medicine.

So you take 75 individuals on the highest end and compare them to the lowest paid doctors who still make more than most people by far?
Irrelevant. Your skill set is the only determining factor to your worth.

They'll really feel it when those of us that are just "FP's" opt out. Being in a rural area with no specialist support I've had to be a damn good at endo, ped, derm, ortho, cardiology, neuro etc. I refer out very little and manage complex pt's. I save the system a shite ton, but that's about to end. Getting the same amount to handle one issue vs. numerous complex unrelated conditions is bullshite.
Like your valedictorian, I did quite well in med school and to everyone's surprise, I opted for family practice. It's what I wanted to do and still want to do. To this day I have no regrets about my decision. But the bullshite and the cuts have taken their toll. I'm tired of doing all the work and making others rich while I see my pay go down while being asked to do and track more. I'm not anyone's fricking medical babysitter. Keep your appt's, take your meds, do what I say. Yet, they want to cut my pay because pt's don't do shite for themselves? frick that. I'm a few beers in now and getting a little pissed at all of it.
And I do well. You should here the guys that are struggling. If people don't think a crisis is impending they are dead arse wrong.Posted on 6/1/19 at 6:01 pm to SmackoverHawg

Least of our problems currently. Need insurance reform. Cut the legs out from under these large groups that own doctors. Physicians are so burdened with debt coming out of residency now, they have no choice but to take jobs as employees and some loan payback. Med school was $8k year here in AR when I graduated in 2000. Now it's $40-45k/year. Yet starting salaries in most fields are essentially the same or less. They are creating indebted servants. I'm good. I'm just pissed at what I'm seeing happen around me. Eliminate independent practice then we'll essentially have socialized medicine.
Except for those of us that go cash only and can tell the man to "suck it".

Then you’re part of the problem.
150% - increase in the number of physicians in the last 3 decades.
3200% - increase in the number of health care administrators in the same period of time....and they don’t work for free.

Doctors Make Far Less Money Than Most People Think
“listen to noted Princeton economist Uwe Reinhardt who said as much in this New York Times’ letter:
Cutting doctors’ take-home pay would not really solve the American cost crisis. The total amount Americans pay their physicians collectively represents only about 20 percent of total national health spending. Of this total, close to half is absorbed by the physicians’ practice expenses, including malpractice premiums.”
To be quite blunt, if you are a young person considering going into health care today, you’re shooting yourself in the foot. Don’t do it.

This. And if you really are the best and the brightest, your top end is capped in medicine and will take longer to achieve. I made a good investment and choice, but that was pre-Obama. But you could roll the dice and hope it's just a cycle like any other industry...it's just been downward since the late 80's. Not looking good.

20 bucks to be seen in ER. Cash or credit or we will bill you but if you don't pay and it is not an emergency after triage we won't see you.
This will clear out all these freeloading losers.
ER is dangerous business, most health care workers are female. Security is just some fat slob most of the time, armed with a flashlight. Big ER's have cops or troopers making extra cash but in the small free standing ER's and ready clinics, not so much.
I work in a free standing ER, I am not paid to be a bouncer but I have had to do it multiple times. I wonder what the liability of the health care network would be if I was injured or injured a violent patient?
