For instance, many orthopedists in my hometown have their own physical therapy clinics and MRI and CAT scan machines.

So what? Sounds like a good business decision to me. They've got to make those huge malpractice insurance premiums anyway, so they increase their bottom line by performing services they'd otherwise farm out.

And outside physical therapy clinics pay a “doctor supervision” fee to the referring doctor for each treatment that his patient receives. A more polite way of saying a “kickback.”

Ooh, how scary. A doctor is actually paid to monitor the physical therapy. You'd probably do it for nothing, right?

Are you disagreeing with her?

I'm not an Obamabot, so naturally that doesn't stop me in my tracks. I admire Sarah, but I don't worship and adore her every utterance.

Seeing as how the doctor doesn’t actually do any monitoring, I think I would.
