This concept can be extended to positions by medical staffs against hospital administratios such as the San Jose hospital that voted down MOC. Employers and paymasters have vulnerabilities waiting to be exposed. How legislaltors get funded is a known scandal that goes underutilized. That legislators and staff members get better health care benefits than their constituents is an open sore that begs to be explored. <br /><br />Robert Weinmmann, MD, Editor, San JoseRobert Weinmannhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06207543223165842066noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7722294029877743408.post-46281268436856727552018-11-26T06:43:59.843-08:002018-11-26T06:43:59.843-08:00Before and after medical school, physicians behave...Before and after medical school, physicians behave as individuals. They are challenged with exams, get their degree, match up into residency programs, and attain board certification.<br /><br />They are not use to playing as a team. So when hospitals and insurance companies pick us off using sham peer review, falsification of data, or the brunt of their powerful legal teams, we doctors fight them as individuals.<br /><br />This posting highlights the challenges, but not the solutions.<br /><br />Will those few physicians who fight against hospital and insurance bullies take leadership for those who can’t or won’t fight back?<br /><br />Attrition from our profession will continue, with some retiring, going into administration, or even suicide.<br /><br />Only a team effort will be able to fight this Goliath, but doctors have been inculcated as individuals, and not as team members. Until someone forms a team, bring them into a huddle, and come to the line of scrimmage with a game plan, “Burnout and the Pacification of Physicians” will keep the American doctor on the sidelines.<br /><br />Gene Uzawa Dorio, M.D.<br />Santa Clarita, CAGene Dorio, M.D.https://www.blogger.com/profile/03858418037248387121noreply@blogger.com
