Let’s face it, the only way to promote physician interest is if there were real consequences behind our actions. Nurses et al are empowered because they are willing at any time to stop performing patient care over their own contract needs. Will physicians? Until that happens, MDs will always be bent over by other interests.
@MrBooth07 The Canucks missed their opportunity to surround this core with quality veterans (Toffoli, Tanev) during the COVID offseason and let this core burn to the ground. That is on ownership.
@passittobulis No one should go to games. The product is bad and a message needs to be sent to management and ownership that the goodwill gained by the franchise last year was evaporated by what they allowed to happen this season
I think the OBL rates are probably closer to what these costs should be. Hospital expenses are just out of control. OBLs are run lean, which is what the system (in the minds of payers) should aim to be.
A question for you: could you run your OBL on cash only work? Set your rates for procedures and not deal with insurance or any set fee schedules?
