How about in private practice, they are going to have 1-2 people working the desk, 2-3 assistants, someone doing billing and coding, someone transcribing notes, maybe a tech for lab and radiology work.
How long is that Health Care model likely to last?
How about in private practice...”
I have had doctors for clients for thirty years and have done quite well as a business and financial manager for them. If they had any business knowledge at all a business like mine wouldn’t be needed. Their knowledge base is even more lacking when they have received their funding through a government grant or been employed by a group or hospital. Carson might make a good Surgeon General or working with the VA on treatment issues. President, Vice President or responsibility for managing budgetary issues? No way IMO.

That’s all handled by the office manager, not the doctor.
My nephew is a neurosurgeon. He’s brilliant and would do anything to save someone from suffering paralysis or other brain damage. He’s excellent and in high demand.
But, even though he has a family, his life is brain surgery, thinking about brain surgery given his patients’ needs in current and past cases. He does not sit down with a cup of coffee and surf the net for the latest news. He’s also a researcher.
He’s the kind of man who is able to make things his patients need. I love him. I would have no one but him fix my brain if injured. But I would not elect him President.
All through med. school and through his practice, he has had no time to spend studying wacky Washington and what they have done and what the consequences have been for the people and the economy. When he’s not doing work, he is putting every minute he has into his wife and children. That is the life and mind of a brain surgeon.
Business men have to pay attention to local politics and to Washington because they can be run out of business with some stupid moves by politicians. This is true of not only our politicians but foreign politicians if their business is global. The rich ones buy off politicians, as you know.
Running a multi-billion dollar business and the jobs created can not be compared to running a doctor’s office. For one thing, the doctor hires a good, experienced supervisor for the staff and patient money and record business because he’s too busy doing medicine, plus most don’t like business...they are doctors and have enough on their plate healing patients. Triple that for a brain surgeon.
