Every physician who has tried to leave a hospital and start something independent has been told the same thing.

You cannot get the contracts.
You cannot get the credentialing.
You cannot get the capital.

Two of those are lies.
The third is solvable.

The hospital lobby has spent fifty years convincing physicians they cannot survive outside the system.

The physicians who left are doing fine.
The ones still inside are calling them lucky.

NEW: You might be charged double for a routine medical visit.

Corporations and hospitals are buying up private practices across the country, then tacking “facility fees” onto standard appointments.

While Americans are stuck paying hundreds more for a single doctor’s visit, corporate executives are raking in billions.

Dear @elonmusk, I wanted you to be aware of the racket that goes on in medicine.

To sum it up, here is a case example.

When I fix a distal radius bone fracture - 45 minutes to 1 hr of highly skilled intricate work:

1. Doctor makes 750.
2. Hardware I put in costs 3000 plus roughly 10 screws, each costing 100 bucks
3. The destributor of that hardware makes half on that hardware cost.
4. The manufacturer makes the other half
5. The hospital/ambulatory surgical center makes 6-7x what I make.

I took majority of the risk.
I went to school for 14 years, after high school.
Global period is 90 days during which, I make no money taking care of this patient.
I make no money waking up at night answering patient questions of varying significance, mostly, ones that have already been answered.

Tell me what dumbass will go into medicine now?

Health system in my region is building new outpatient clinics with large shared office for the employed doctors. A seat at a long bench. Not even a cubicle. The practice administrator and office manager each have a private office. Everyone clear? @anish_koka @DrDiGiorgio @realdocspeaks @drdanchoi @DrBrian4Health

In 2021, Cardiovascular Specialists of New England (CSNE) physicians were the 1st in New England to use Shockwave’s coronary intravascular lithotripsy technology. Today they brought that technology to St. Joseph Hospital for the first time. Congrats to Dr. Fahad Gilani and team!
