A Health-Care Scare!


According to the source:

  1. 80% think there is a shortage in their specialty
  2. 50% plan on seeing less patients or stop entirely
  3. 60% said they would not recommend medicine as a career to friends, family, and associates
  4. More than 90% said paperwork has increased.
  5. 200,000 fewer medical professionals in 2020 than what is needed, while the number of older americans doubles in the next 20 years
  6. New hires are increasingly focusing on work-life balance and compensation factors to make their decisions on where to work

Those darned nurses, always complaining…

uh oh.  Not about nurses this time.

Primary-care doctors.  You know, your family practitioner (Dr. Wanee for me and my family).  Your  general internists.  OBGYN’s.  Pediatricians. Yea, none of us ever use those folks.  And those General Internists are the doctors we count on to take care of our folks, and soon, ourselves.

More and more new doctors are going into specialties and bypassing the route of the “family doctor”.

Makes ya kinda sick, doesn’t it.
