One of my relatives worked devotedly at the local hospital for fifteen years. Her department was outsourced to a for-profit external entity. She fell and was hurt, but not at the job. She was seriously injured and needed surgery. They legally terminated her by eliminating her position and renaming it something else as they replaced her. She has to find work before she was fully recovered, which caused worse injuries and more surgeries that ate away at her precious savings because she no longer had good insurance. She managed to work a few more years, but at a much lower pay grade. So when she finally became permanently disabled and barely able to walk, Her disability income was based on those years of low pay work...not her hospital wages. Her disability checks are low enough that she will probably spend the rest of her life below the poverty line.

Healthcare actually worked better under the old system, and was affordable. The government involved in healthcare is even worse. In the US during covid, hospitals got $35k from the government for every person that was placed on a ventilator....thousands died from inappropriate use of them.

Just dealt with this today actually. Cardiologist left the hospital to start his own practice in a more rural part of town. Two things he admitted when we discussed his recent change. 1. The agreement he had to sign with insurance companies was less favorable than the hospital agreement. 2. He is having problems getting privileges at hospitals because they require all sorts of additional hoops to jump through before they will allow you to perform procedures in their suites. You had to have an on-call stand in for procedure days and other things that turn procedures into monetary losses for the physician. I feel bad for him, but I also think this type of reshuffling is the necessary step the US has to make before healthcare/Insurance reform occurs. It's gonna get worse before it gers better, but the US has to utterly destroy things before we admit they're broken and take the proper steps toward repairing them. Which we will do with metaphical duct tape and Elmer's glue until it falls apart completely and then, only then! will we ignore the lobbyists and political donations to do what's necessary to return it to barely functional for an extended period of time.

I’m not in the med field but live in the PNW where I battled the insurance system for several years and blame them on the inadequate care my son received. By the time I was able to switch insurance to be able to go BACK to his pediatric bone marrow transplant specialist who had saved his life twice when no one else could figure out the best course… the damage was done. He passed away four years after transplant. It’s a long story, but I really feel for this brilliant doctor. Her hands were tied and she battled the insurance companies for her patients so hard. It’s no wonder that so many doctors we saw after her seemed to take sudden, early retirements.

A few years ago, my PCP quietly told me one day he was leaving his practice because the hospital had been sold and the new owners started doing stuff like this. About a week later, he held a meeting with his partners to announce his upcoming departure. The response was basically, 'Thank god, we were all going to tell you we want out." They left as a group and just re-affiliated with a different, well-known hospital, which also had the side benefit of allowing them all to be working closer to home. They're all much happier now.

OMG! My hospital decided that they want us to go down to 1999 staffing levels, but that is only you know the departments that actually see patients, we still have an inverted pyramid with the administration having like 30 VPs and that is only that section of administration, they aren't even considering lowering their numbers. Yesterday I told a few of my co-workers that I feel like Administration is throwing gasoline on the dumpster fire that they started... I feel this skit so much!

introducing the Jonathan lamp. not only is he an incredibly talented scribe but he also acts as a fine peace of lighting equipment for almost nothing (he seems to miraculously generate enough energy to light a room and seems to violate the conservation of energy). buy him now for the low low cost of half your lifespan.

As a pediatric PA, I'm actually content with my pay level in comparison to other specialties - they do a lot more for the older patients with more serious illnesses. My patients actually spring right back without much of intervention majority of times. Kids are usually bright sides of my job - it's the parents who test my patience.
