Thoughts from the Happy Hospitalist:
With my training, expertise and education, I should be able to collect at least $250/hour. I’m pretty sure medicare will pay me less than $75. After overhead I make less than a massage therapist for an hour teaching. Family’s happy but I can guarantee you that if I sent them a bill for the other $175, they would be furious. My time should be free, right? It’s your right, right? Is your time free?
