Why is that hard to believeby anonymous (no login)I practice in a larger city. The hospital that recruits a MD has a vested interest in making them successful. FPs,pain docs,endocrinologists,neurologists, physiatrists,infectious disease, and even vascular surgeons have either visited, brought donuts, or sposored lunch for my staff. We have MDs in our area that are slow and ask to do my H&Ps and even new orthos who scrub for assistance fees. Someday some of you DPMs will realize that although they should be respected (if they deserve it) MDs are not the know all profession. They have some of the same problems we have. Our hospital recently recruited 3 new orthos because one of the established ones now is an investor in a surgery center. Well his patient load hasn't dropped just where he does his elective surgery. So the hospital trys to fight back by bringing in more competition. The na na na na defense. Well one of the new orthos been here 6 months is only averaging 5 or less patients/day and considering moving back to CA. He has scrubed with me on rearfoot cases to make assistance fee $$$. Try ot to assume if it doesn't happen to you it must not exist. For example how many people did you se that needed triple arthrodesis last year? If I told you I did 25 does that mean I'm telling a lie or perhaps we live in different enviroments? from IP address 152.163.253.1 Goto Forum Home |
