Hello,
I know that EM has a substantial amount of primary care, and that is one of the main reasons why I am possibly thinking about considering it. And for the trauma...
Anyway, I know that in today's world, EM physicians make ~$100/hr. Due to the fact of the increased amount of Medicaid (primary care faction, "the ER is a drug seeker's home," etc.), isn't it very reasonable to assume that the hourly wage of an EM doc will be decreasing once the feds decrease reimbursements?
What do you guys/gals think about this possibility, or is it?
Thanks, bigfrank
