But we are all rich doctors, right? we should just be able to hire scribes, maids, and everyone else to do our work for us while we sit in an office chair drinking coffee all day. It's pretty annoying that many people have this perception. Few know what it takes to own and operate a medical office. Most of us are not only doctor, but also the office manager, human resources person, I.T. tech, maintenance person, and take out the trash.
