That’s been the case for a while.the long play is actually Doctors having to work for a corporation because it will be too expensive to practice independently.
Walmart kinda trash tho
What’s stupid is that doctors are getting paid over 200,000 And screwing over the everyday people.
they have the power to make change in healthcare but they choose not too.
If u know anyone in the medical industry u know they are not getting underpaid
Again...zero distinction between practices. A plastic surgeon or an orthopedist can make over $500K/year, but a lot of the non procedure-driven specialties and general practice MDs earn way less.
Basically any doctor I've spoken to at my job says there's absolutely no financial incentive to be a general practitioner anymore. You'll probably make very low six figures, work about 80 hours a week between office hours, time in hospitals, nursing homes/rehabs/assisted living centers/etc., you get constant phone calls at all hours where you need to make important decisions and do them quickly, as well as a bunch of pointless phone calls interrupting your sleep all of the time. It's a big part of the reason why you're seeing more urgent care clinics and less private practices.
If you think the docs hold the power in their hands to completely reform our healthcare system you're beyond naive. You're even more naive if you think they're the ones responsible for "screwing" us over. Most of the doctors I deal with are disgusted with the penny-pinching administrators and insurance companies, but their hands are tied.
I work with doctors on a professional level and the past 9 months have seen 3/4 doctors for personal issues and I see howyou have absolutely NO idea. NONE. it's a shame people from the outside looking in may see it this way. Comparison Ford hit it right on the head.
I didn’t say they were the problem, please read correctly.LOL @ doctors being the problem.
Working under a huge backer and not worry about funding as much as a smaller place? I see plenty making the move.One question is, would a MD want to work at Walmart?
Having this on your resume could be career suicide if you eventually want to be an attending, chief, or interviewing to head a clinical trial.
Docs can't even override the policies of administrators and insurance companies, you really think they're the ones that hold the power in their hands?how are their hands tied?
they have the power the same way the union is holding general motor by the balls right now
Do they really? Plenty of pharmacies hire them part-time so they don't have to pay benefits.This. They’ll probably get paid pretty well (comparatively), get benefits/malpractice insurance covered, and have none of the overhead costs of running a private practice.
Walmart pharmacists make bank.
Hospital admins and the government have power over the average provider. They have 15 minutes with most patients and if they go over hospital admins will start asking questions. If you are not a specialist, I wouldn't do it.Again...zero distinction between practices. A plastic surgeon or an orthopedist can make over $500K/year, but a lot of the non procedure-driven specialties and general practice MDs earn way less.

bruh, if doctors strike the administrators and insurance companies are at their mercy.Docs can't even override the policies of administrators and insurance companies, you really think they're the ones that hold the power in their hands?

do you comprehend that or no?
if doctors really wanted to change the industry they could.
Let's overlook the ethical dilemma of the concept of doctors "going on strike" for a second and talk about the logistics of what you just said.
The VAST majority of doctors aren't unionized. They're private contractors, and without union protection or protection of federal regulation they basically have no leverage. Doctors also have to worry about their reputations and their clientele. They really don't have anyone to back them up, so they rely on themselves to provide the care that their patients need.
You could make your argument for just about any profession, but you know that's not true. If the nurses strike, is hospital administration at their mercy, or do they just find replacements? A good chunk of nurses are in unions and the end result is that the organizations find temporary replacements while the nurses ultimately receive marginal gains through the union.
what if I needed a referral?Some doctors just want to work. It's just like any other field. You get trained for something and you want to put it to use. Not all of them gonna reach the major leagues. I used to not have insurance and so I had to go to this low budget clinic ran out of a classroom trailer in the back of an elementary school. $50 gets you seen by a doctor. Not the best doctor. I wanted to get an x-ray or MRI for some Achilles pain and the doctor, who wasn't much older than me, was using her phone to Google ****. She told me to ice it and take magnesium. I asked which form of magnesium and she went back to her phone. You also have doctors who made mistakes (malpractice, DUI, etc) and they get relegated to working at some crappy government funded clinic. So when you ask if it's glamorous to be a Walmart doctor, I would ask what that salary like? We all want a competitive salary, job security, and family benefits at the end of the day. I could give two ****s if my friends see me working at Walmart as a doctor while they're buying Oreos and socks.
in what capacity do you work with physicians? i am a physician, and reading your comments just leaves me in disbelief. however, i do understand that this is not uncommon thinking for the general public. your argument of, "if doctors want to do it then they can. thats it and that's all, and i'm covering my ears now" is very simple, naive, and, most importantly, incorrect. there's really no point in furthering the discussionif doctors really wanted to change the industry they could.
who owns and runs all the healthcare organizations? doctors
