My heart doc is in his late 50's with 10-15-20 good years of professional life left in him.
He recently sold his private practice, and is currently working for a hospital group.
He told me that his hours went from 80 per week to 45-50 per week, and he will cut back further when obamacare kicks in.
He said if the gummint gets to aggressive he will just retire, killing off 10-20 years of an expert heart specialist services.
He doesn't need the money and won't put up with too much bullshit and he HATES obama.
I don't want to lose him as a doc, but I understand his position, and agree with him.
The health care system is going to see thousands of docs bailing because of the stupid gummint restrictions and regulations and we will be stuck with the slugs that are akin to union certified "pubic" school teecheers.
Not to worry. I'm sure they will get doctors from someplace who will accept the miserable stipends to treat us. The problem will likely be us understanding them through their heavy Middle Eastern and African accents.
