It’s peculiar, I think, that we live in a time of physician shortage and yet some things remain abundantly clear:
1. Physicians can’t work together to fight, either for their own good or the good of their patients.
2. Like hostages, or abused spouses, they just keep going back for more of whatever bad policies they endure.
3. They are devalued.
Now, this isn’t about money. I’m not enough of a medical economics expert to suggest whether or not each speciality is being paid equitably. I have ideas, but this is not the space.
