Exhibit 1:
Did you hear the joke about the lady who got free health care and lunch from her doctor?The morning's last patient, a disabled woman on Medicare, trails her doctor into her office and confides that she doesn't have money for lunch. Tanyech Walford pulls out her billfold and hands her $3. It's money the doctor really doesn't have.
"I tell patients I'm broke, and they just chuckle," she said. "They don't believe me."
Walford's fashionable medical suite in a sleek black-paneled building in Beverly Hills was hiding a grittier reality: She spent much of her lunch hour that day in her office opening mail -- hoping to find payment checks to help fill the gap between her expenses and her revenue.
She hadn't drawn a paycheck for herself since February. On top of that, her practice has cost her $40,000 in personal savings and left her with $15,000 in credit card debt. Walford, 39, also owes $80,000 in medical school loans. She shops at Ross and other discount retailers, and rarely eats out or takes time off.
"I'm totally stressed out," Walford said. "How can I take care of my patients when I'm that stressed?"
Exhibit 2:
Wow.Dr. Jerry Connell kept his family practice going in Santa Rosa for 29 years. But he closed it in October because his income had slipped to $50,000 a year, even though he had 2,600 patients.
"I could make more with my Social Security and investments than I could by staying in practice," said Connell, 66.
He didn't bother looking for a buyer because "no one in Sonoma County has been able to find a replacement in five years."
Exhibit 3:
Early next month, Walford will join 200 physicians in a multi-office practice affiliated with Johns Hopkins Medical Center in Prince George's County, Md. Her base salary will be $115,000, plus bonuses based on the complexity and quality of care she delivers. Benefits include vacations, health insurance, a pension plan and paid continuing medical education.
