Hi, I was wondering if anyone could comment on the companies that ER docs sign up with to represent them when dealing with working in hospitals. Basically, I have heard that hospital based specialties like ER (and Anesthesiology, path, etc), can have trouble dealing with hospitals sometimes because those specialties are hospital-based. The hospitals can tell you what to do, change policies, etc and there's not much the doc or the recruiting company can do about it.(i.e., they are not like say IM where you have your own office or can be a hospitalist and so have some more autonomy).
Anyway just wondering if ER docs ever have problems with hospitals because of this, and end up having to relocate where the company wants it to? How serious of a problem is this?
Also I know this is a hard question, but in general what does an ER doc average in hours over a month. I know it's hospital dependent, but maybe someone will know (?)
Thanks in advance
