[QUOTE="boondocks, post: 1397222, member: 20599"] Most health care providers (drs, PA's) are just employees of health care systems now, and don't set their own pay at all. They have patients who call them at home (without having been given the number); threaten their lives (and file formal complaints to which the provider must respond) if they don't gave them opioids; sent them a million messages through the new electronic medical records platforms asking questions like "Which brand of vitamin should I take?" (all of which the provider is expected to respond to within 2 hours, despite being in with patients all day); having to fill out (without pay) hundreds of pages of forms every week for insurers that just want to put up roadblocks, and for patients who are on workers' comp or applying for disability..I could go on...have two close family members who are worked like dogs on the modern-day assembly line of health care (especially in primary care and other "non-specialties"). Ain't the gig it used to be (if it ever was)... [/QUOTE]
