I think you are being offended because unnecessarily. I have no axe to grind just looking for the truth. It’s important to understand for the residents and potential hires. I think ApolloMD is much better than other cmgs. Everything online shows valor controls Apollo. That’s all I’m saying. Docs may have a controlling interest. One of my close friends is very very tight with yogin Patel.
Dude, I got NO dog in this fight, but, from the cheap seats, unbiased, you look like you do have an axe to grind. I was wondering what was your angle in this, because you sounded fixed on this.
Truly no axe to grind. I think it is important that docs know who they are working for. My take while i despise the CMGs is that if you choose to work for one good for you. But it is important for docs to understand the business structure of the entities we work for. It is important to understand the insane debt of our employers etc.
I have no dog in this fight. But I had a dog in the war, that USACS then took from me and screwed.
What shady behavior? I work for Vituity and haven’t seen anything firsthand but am curious.
How they have undercut an SDG in Virginia and scooped up a big contract in Indiana. In Virginia in particular they screwed over an SDG. What I don’t understand is (and I e spoken to borger and others in vituity) if they are equal and fair where is the win in growing that business. Something doesn’t quite feel right but maybe it’s just to decrease their central costs.
How about that policy letter put out a 1-2 years ago where midlevels were going to get credentialed for all advanced procedures company-wide?
People need to refuse contracts with noncompete clauses if they're going down the employment road. Psychiatrists are able to avoid noncompetes in systems that force them upon most other physicians, which shows that if you're willing to put your foot down you can make your voices heard and make it happen. When you have the ability to go elsewhere and force hospitals to compete, employed arrangements can become gradually more favorable over time.
Maybe 5 years ago this was an option. 10k too many em docs means it’s gonna be like lord of the flies rather than collaborative work by Ed docs.
Incredible that Starbucks baristas have more bargaining power than EPs right now.
Yeah but they’re 10x more whiney and entitled. Or am I confusing them for med students at hca hospitals or residents from “powerhouse” programs?
To be fair they arent saddled with 300k in debt. Lets face the truth physicians are a bunch of sissies.
Honestly, ISTM there are some eternal truths: jocks beat up nerds, might makes right, and metagaming always wins over the Ludic Fallacy. Physicians as a group have been blind to these things at least the 1970s, which is about as far forward as I can see clearly because IIRC it's about as far as Starr covered in _Social Transformation of American Medicine_.
