How is it legal to have an ICU that isn’t staffed by a single doctor?
This would never happen to people who write the laws so it's not a priority.
Literally the anime Monster lol
It's probably staffed by Nurse Practitioners. They do a lot of stuff that used to be handled by doctors, even my primary care provider is a NP and not a Dr.
For 1/5 of the pay.
More like dr make twice the pay than np because dr requires 10x more hours to be certified over a np. Also the family will be sueing the dr not the np for medical malpractice here.
Oh, not that a doctors pay isn't justified (and still too less, for the requirements). But this here seems a saving money on the cost of quality, only the patient suffers from case.
Not American nor am I lacking my own doctor but I generally choose to see a specific NP at my clinic over my doctor since she's able to do everything I'd need my doctor for as well as actually caring to look into my health issues. I went over a decade with crippling digestive issues that I complained about constantly to my doctor but it was always dismissed as anxiety related. It was only the NP who actually cared to get me checked for celiac disease
Not exactly that related of a tangent but just wanted to say bless nurse practitioners 🫡
The bourgeoisie does not care if the working class dies so long as they are maximizing profits and continuing to expand their ownership.
teledocs, and equity firms have been snatching up doctors all over the place, this hospital is likely part of a firm that does this, they can just staff 1 or few doctors in a hospital, and use teledoc soley.
The end result is people getting terrible care as this young man did.
i first read this complaint on one of the medical subs once, the poster said wtf she cant find any private doctors, and it was explained that private equity was buying them all up, and teledocs too.
Why would it not be? Why would that law be enforced if it existed?
And have the yacht-class pay doctors to help the non yacht class?
