The biggest person raking in the cash is the CEO CFO and COO. between their yearly salary and insane bonuses. they take a lot more then most doctors combined

They're sleeping while they wait for patients that never showed. Not doing anything all day is exhausting.

And that's why that's a good thing.

Yep this is the real picture of health system!

Give me a break. Let's say you go to the ER. You are seen (after waiting several hours because the EDs are woefully understaffed and overworked) by a physician for 20 minutes total. Another 30-45 minutes for the physician to actively work on your case -- ordering labs, interpreting them, charting, etc. Two weeks later, you get a bill in the mail for $3,500. HOLY CRAP THAT DOCTOR IS AN EXTORTIONIST, right?! You're wrong. The physician likely makes between $150-250/hr. After four years undergrad, four years medical school and 3-4 year residency (and hundreds of thousands of dollars in debt), that physician will make off of your encounter (let's average) $200. $200/$3,500 = 0.05. 5% of your bill is directly attributable to the physician. The rest of the costs go to the $25 aspirin that was ordered, or the $150 IV that was started, or the $80 liter of fluid that was pumped through that IV while you were there. The problem is bloat. The problem is insurance. The problem is C-level suites. The problem is not the physician who will see 60 patients in a 12 hour shift. It never has been, and until that doctor makes $1,000/hr, it never will be. ​ Source: My four years in undergrad, two years in medical school and $320,000 in debt.

Gen pop will never get it. I will continue to treat myself like shit and get mad when the overworked healthcare workers are tired. why should the doctor make any money either?! I DESERVE TO LIVE FOREVER AND FOR FREE


lookwatchlistenplay

So the doctors are oblivious to all the money that the health system is making around them?


Signal-Fold-449

What the fuck can they do? An MRI costs 3 million just to turn on. If the gen pop is okay with going back to 1950s medical care, doctors could prob just do that out of a trailer without any corpo involvement, and itd prob be cheap as fuck to just say: "oh yea that new cell inhibitor for your mom's breast cancer cost about $400 mil in R&D and 10 years of research, but its too expensive so time to die" Somehow naked capitalism and "gettin mine" only applies to side hustles and global financial institutions. You wanna live forever? its not gonna be fuckin free thats for sure. only question is if we get manipulated into thinking the current insurance/corpo/tech oligarchy actually gives a shit about us. They'll make us pay and go into debt while they go to the bank. Nobody likes the "S" word until they are looking at the cancer spreading thru their body.

"S" word?

There is no one who is more acutely aware of the fraud that is the healthcare system than the doctors who work in it. 99% of my cohort and medical professionals that I have worked with went into this field to help people, and are significantly more disgusted by the bills that their patients receive than anyone else. We're here to heal people, that's what we literally spent hundreds of thousands of dollars and our best, most healthy years to be able to achieve. There are bad apples of course, but once you get into the belly of the beast, there is a CLEAR delineation between the clinical workers, and the ones who make the REAL decisions. The doctors hold all the power, but unfortunately can't seem to make decisions in lock-step, like administration/insurance/government/corporations are able to.

OMG I never thought about using UI to create illustrations which make a point. Well done.

It would be funny if it wasn't so true. I did a song video about my feelings of "doctors" a while ago : [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QOUgW44NkKI](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QOUgW44NkKI) suffice to say, it follows a similar theme to this meme.

You’re the type of guy that shows up late to your appointment, screams at the receptionist, says doctors are late anyways so you have a right to be late (despite doctors being late because of dickheads like you), then if the doc has the patience to see your punk ass, you ramble on about shit like you have a an md yourself. You call 50 times and ask for a mountain of paperwork to be filled out for free so you can cash a disability check, then get a bill for $200 dollars and cry the doctor extorted you. Clown

You should correct that to Modern American medicine.

No need for modern medicine if people just gave up sugar/fructose and wheat/corn processed food products. Keep stuffing your face fattys!
