My doc not cut out to work solo, my latest assessment! She is worry about almost everything... Male mentality is different. I think 50% of the time I speak for her instead. An old psyche paper saying that opposites attract is just a myth, people do pick their partners with similar interests, might not be applied to us. We are indeed vastly different...
Even last year when I was complaining about high 6% billing outsource, we haven't done anything about it then. The fee tickets uploaded regularly to our biiling company, so our cash flow is fine. Only AC accounting data lacking, also missing EOBs.
She graduated more than 20 years ago but mostly a worker doc, flying solo less than 4 years, currently passed her prime. Natural process is not something to celebrate about, feeling so tired after a single sleepless night or need to write down a list...
Automated medical technology are ready, only things to hold it back are job security and alien forces. Look at the old Harrision internal med book not too long ago, not much data in there at all. Most medical software are smaller sizes too.
Educate me if I am wrong, I feel that only 4 needed steps for docs to give a proper diagnose: vital signs, overall assessments, abnormal symptoms, body fluids/tissues compositions. A medical booth could do all of those with the need for remote support of all specialty docs. 10 docs employed by a medical center working in a med call center responsible for 20 medical booths, working 30 hours a week. Much less support staff compared to a typical drone support of 180, CNN?. Much better than the current solo doc environment, 60 to 80 hours work week and day and night stress. Same high salary without the defensive treatment worry. Computer brains doing all preliminary diagnoses, docs just looking at the result output and click ok.
I kept nagging her, a happy life is more important. She should consider join a 'nice' group to work less instead of flying solo. They said less than 100K would bring about the most happiness... Haha at one time, she worked for a nice doc, might be not as cheap as Bert former employer who made his employees to write a three character word instead of four to save on toner, a person that frugal exists? Occasionally she has seen more than 30 patients in the morning... that doc is still doing papers...
