Yeah you can. It's extreme, and not everyone can. You don't have to move to Texas, but, vote with your feet.
One hospital somewhat near was independent, but signed an affiliation with a big system. Our group is leaving, and USACS is coming in. At least two docs are staying, so, they don't do anything differently, but get the $150k "signing bonus"*, and just stay in the ****ty ED. The others, though? Got off the leaky boat.
haven't done the map at my current shop. At my previous shop (where I still work prn/part time) I was averaging 1500 RVUs for 126 hours. Place was busy. Double coverage with 180 visits per day roughly 55k visits/year.
