Really good information here. Gene hit the nail on the head regarding us being in the "in between" generation.
My take is that the current situation in medicine (loss of autonomy, prior auths, devaluation of primary care, increased paperwork, decreased pay) is not going to change anytime soon. Doctors missed the boat on getting organized to stand up for the profession.
I would suggest that we are not imprisoned in our current situation. We can go do something else. I have seen several colleagues do just that.
Developing a hobby outside of medicine is important, as jimmie suggested.
