Re: “Independent Docs Struggle to Compete With Hospitals”

I, too,was a former FAHC/UVM physician who is now in private practice. For more than 14 years I taught medical students,residents and fellows while maintaining a busy medical and surgical practice. Over the years I watched in frustration as Executive Officers,Vice Presidents,CEO's, CFO's,COO's, Marketing Directors, Chief Nursing Officers, Administrators, HR directors, Chief Medical Officers etc. grew in numbers and salaries-many bringing home high 6 figure and low 7 figure salaries. Silly expensive marketing strategies telling us to "become one" and changing the name of the medical group were somehow supposed to make us forget that our salaries were stagnant,our patients were paying more, our staff was doing without continuing medical education and the bloated administration was going on retreats to learn how to buy up private practices and charge more facility fees. I continue to be surprised that we do not hear more about this.
