Hospital taxes doctors for keeping patients healthy
Hospital taxes doctors for keeping patients healthy.
To care for patients in the hospital, docs have to be on staff and pay yearly dues. I was paying $300/year. Then I got a bill for $700. Why? I only had one patient in the hospital last year. Docs admitting more than 25 patients/year still paid $300. I got fined because my patients were too healthy.
Same thing with my friend in his residency program. He helped his patients quit smoking, lose weight, reverse their diabetes. His program director called him into his office. He thought he was getting an award. Instead he was reprimanded for not generating enough money for the hospital with cardiac caths and other expensive tests. He got punished for keeping patients healthy.

    Why not laugh? Life is silly and fun. The process of receiving medical care can be uncomfortable physically why does it also have to be uncomfortable emotionally? The greatest lie sold to budding doctors is that The only way to show a respect for life is to treat it with some sort of detached gravitas and it's never snicker or laugh at the folly of it all. There are many tough tasks in the world and many many large struggles even just within medicine ... But I think one of the greatest challenges (and consequently greatest rewards) is to find a way to bring hope and a smile to the face of child and their family in a pediatric ICU. Professional distance will not give you that ability. the grand irony is that the treatment you're working so hard to deliver will work better if the family is laughing well, sleeping well eating well and overall in tune with the beauty that Life can offer.

    Ann, I love this idea for doctors! As a breast cancer survivor, my doctors were (and still are) the most important professionals in my life. Doctors' work is invaluable, and your peace of mind is critical to performing your jobs well. As a public high school teacher in Texas, we often feel as though people who have never taught make most of our decisions for us, too. It does indeed take a toll on one's mental health, which in turn affects our physical health. Perhaps this ideology will spread into the education field. I hope it does! By the way, Ann, I knew you in Oklahoma City! I was so happy to see your success story on You Tube! Keep up the amazing work YOUR WAY! Betsy (Burn) Beyette - Fort Worth, Texas

    That’s wrong…it’s the same kind of problem that medical professionals with mental health problems face. Some are even sent to drug abuse programs when that’s not the problem. I’m a specialist in brain injury and a survivor of brain injury as well. I have worked with physicians and nurses who have been sent to drug “rehab” programs for brain injury symptoms even though their state board has been informed they had a brain injury and they tested clean. They couldn’t afford and shouldn’t have to go through this type of program for drug rehabilitation because it won’t fix brain injury. It just doesn’t make sense if they’re honest brokers. That’s the problem here…anyway, even with this situation, it’s so absurd. Hopefully, reclassifying marijuana will help somewhat. Who knows. I feel badly for this poor physician…hopefully she’s able to fight for justice for herself and others…

    It's because they all have agreed to not cure. They can only treat illness. But to cure means loss of money. To choose money over curing people is pretty pathetic. You can bet that they have insider information for their own health. Maybe that's why most of these doctors look so healthy, young and vibrant. Their fear of going into a hospital is just too much to bear. But if by chance they do survive. Their inner turmoil will eat their insides up.

      Absolutely and time for a change in the way we train our gifted young humanitarians Emotional needs and SAFE training & working environment is #1 issue. Also allowing for CONFIDENTIAL & NON-PUNITIVE mental health help is of critical importance. Not sure what country you are in (though this IS a global crisis of intergenerational wounding due to vicarious trauma) the lack of support in USA is astounding: See: www.idealmedicalcare.org/physician-friendly-states-for-mental-health-a-review-of-medical-boards/ quote from surgeon: “Physicians are treated as criminals and tracked more closely than Level III sex offenders,” reports a general surgeon. “Answering all these questions on applications, the subtle, unspoken lesson is ‘you had better be squeaky clean, mentally, morally and physically! If you step off the shining path, bad things will occur.’ I have known 7 male physicians who died by suicide. Most with a ‘happy’ exterior. Why? They cannot confide in colleagues for fear that their colleagues will turn them in to hospitals and boards-and there goes their privileges and livelihood. They cannot confide in their spouses because during rough patches mentally, their marriages are already in trouble. If they share psychological problems, they probably fear that the wife may use this as ammunition in any future divorce. So they keep on smiling-right up to the hour they die.”

    • @PamelaWible
      @PamelaWible Před rokem

      SOLUTIONS: Medical boards do undermine physician mental health by breaching physician confidentiality and privacy. Discrimination against qualified, competent applicants who report mental health conditions is a violation of the Americans with Disabilities Act. In their search for criminal behavior among physicians, medical boards must not become criminal in their own behavior. By breaking federal law and the AMA Code of Ethics, boards have weaponized mental health diagnoses against physicians. Recommendations for all state boards: 1) Remove mental health questions from medical licensing applications. Replace with current impairment questions such as: “Do you currently have a condition that impairs your ability to practice medicine safely?” Comply with federal law by following best practices of Grade A states. Move criminal/predatory behavior queries to the criminal section alongside felonies and DUIs. 2) Address impairment from hazardous working conditions. Rather than focus on individual victims, engage in high-yield activities that resolve hazardous conditions impairing physicians en masse. To truly protect patients, align with all other industries invested in public safety that have legislated (and enforced) maximum 16-hour shifts, 60-hour work weeks, with minimum 30-minute breaks every 8 hours. 3) Encourage nonpunitive 100% confidential mental health care. Physicians require safe, accessible mental health care to be well-adjusted human beings. Most physicians enter medicine as humanitarians with noble intentions. Help them be well. After all, how can physicians give patients the care they’ve never received? More here: www.idealmedicalcare.org/physician-friendly-states-for-mental-health-a-review-of-medical-boards/ (given UNSAFE & HAZARDOUS working environment physicians will continue to be wounded and will continue to wound each other-inadvertently due to their own catastrophic trauma. I choose to believe the majority of us enter the field with noble intentions and we are simply destroyed by the hazardous educational process and indoctrination into a rigid, failing, and fatally thawed reductionist medical model.

    From what you've told us about Jon, it sounded like he was a pessimistic. Perhaps that was a bigger part in what led to his suicide? Either way, it's unfortunate he chose to end his life

      Perfectionistic more than pessimistic. He also was suffering with a cancer diagnosis and surely felt that he would not be able to save all the children he was capable of saving given his physical and mental health issues (part 2 to come) . . .

      Read more here: “Physicians are treated as criminals and tracked more closely than Level III sex offenders,” reports a general surgeon. “Answering all these questions on applications, the subtle, unspoken lesson is ‘you had better be squeaky clean, mentally, morally and physically! If you step off the shining path, bad things will occur.’ I have known 7 male physicians who died by suicide. Most with a ‘happy’ exterior. Why? They cannot confide in colleagues for fear that their colleagues will turn them in to hospitals and boards-and there goes their privileges and livelihood. They cannot confide in their spouses because during rough patches mentally, their marriages are already in trouble. If they share psychological problems, they probably fear that the wife may use this as ammunition in any future divorce. So they keep on smiling-right up to the hour they die.” www.idealmedicalcare.org/physician-friendly-states-for-mental-health-a-review-of-medical-boards/ It's ridiculous. Stigma for seeking help and then threat of losing our license prevents us from reaching out to anyone.
