Healthcare Economics 101: "PROFIT MARGIN and Short-Staffing" Less salaries = More profit -- this cartoon shows you how it works. Every time a boomer doctor retires or quits and their slot is not filled PRONTO,the remaining doctors work ethic kicks in and they burn themselves out to cover the patient care demands The institution bumps up their profit margin And the manager gets a pat on the back for running a "tight ship" Know this:  There is a massive finanacial DISINCENTIVE to hire and staff appropriately as long as you keep showing up and doing the work Managers everywhere prey on our ethics to pad profits - not ALL managers, but the majority for sure Forcing doctors to play chicken, pushed to the point of threatening to quit if you don't get reinforcements It is an obnoxious, evil management habit ...and so unnecessary This short staffing policy cripples the organization's long-term viability in search of short term profits (and executive bonuses) DOCTORS =>> GET OUT OF THERE Quit that Job - It's a fantastic job market with LOTS of virtual options. You do not have to put up with this manure. Here is our #1 Physician Job Search Training that guarantees your success in finding a MUCH better position. https://lnkd.in/g-cZUQUm I know you feel guilty just thinking about leaving "What about my patients? What about my staff?" That is what this manager is counting on ... your ethics and dedication. It is predatory behavior.
