The transition from physician- to businessman-led hospitals worries me. I've seen many surgeons become hospital employees with decreased productivity and I worry they will be pawns of management.
-"the number of non-medically trained hospital administrators has gone up 30-fold in the past 30 years, while the number of physicians has remained relatively constant. Independent practices are also disappearing, as hospitals buy them up and put doctors on salary. The result for many physicians is the feeling that they are pawns of a big organization that does not want to hear, let alone act on, their concerns."
