One of my longtime Docs called to let me know he was closing his practice, and going to work at a research facility. He told me that without all the overhead required for his office, he’d be “taking home” virtually the same amount of money, without all the responsibilities and worries. He’s also on the managing director’s board of a local hospital, and he’s really glad to be getting out of that. He says the politics are too dumb and infuriating, that he refuses to put up with it anymore!
Exactly how many positions like that are available? I’m sure that anywhere close to enough to provide employment for an exodus of doctors.
