Primary Care doctors struggling to survive

[medicinesux]

While I don't think this explains ALL of the problems effecting primary care, I recently met a general internist who lives on the upper east side in New York. Has 3 clinics, works 4 days a week spends his weekends in the Hamptons. He said he worked his arse off out of residency to bulid his patient load but says he is currently doing very well. Obviously this guy who runs exclusively ambulatory clinics is doing something that works.

My point being that all primary care residencies should have a business foundations course.

sounds just like the woman mentioned in the article who worked in the posh office in Beverly Hills Also, I could easily triple my rent to live in a swank apt in the better part of town and go to SOBE or Vegas on all my vacations but I don't. Living paycheck to paycheck is what will keep you chained to this profession with no way of getting out.
