Nurses react with fury over doctor pay offer

This forum made possible through the generous support of SDN members, donors, and sponsors. Thank you.

Why do nurses always position themselves this way? Always blaming and comparing to other members of the healthcare team when they instead should be allied and directing their outrage against the government? Or against the hospital? Such stupidity

Doctors sadly position themselves this way too. CSA publicly objected to healthcare workers minimum wage increases in CA.

It's so stupid. There is a ton of money in medicine as seen by the obscene 6 and 7 figure c-suite salaries, their legion of mindless sycophants ( aka administrators. So many accounting tricks involved. The clinicians fight over the scraps

Indeed. And it’s entirely by design. Physician salaries are about 8% of healthcare expenditures last I checked, and middle-men are about 50% of healthcare expenditures.

The AHA has worked hard to reduce physician reimbursement while at the same time increasing hospital and ancillary reimbursement. Hospital systems, administrators and the c-suite are ****ing you over in both real dollars and your ability to negotiate. This is their long game. They know we dont have the time or collective will to fight them. And they know physicians are generally terrible with finances and money.

When the hospitals says that physicians are too expensive for what they bill... this is literally a product of years of campaigning and lobbying by the AHA to decrease physician billing per unit. When you consider the facility and other fees associated with the encounter and take away their accounting tricks the picture is clear there is no money problem
