The Happy Hospitalist: “We have established a system, and pay for it without remorse, a system that hinges on the belief that we are all immortal. We have created a fully funded system that has allowed our citizens to believe that we can fix everything, every time, all the time. We have established, as standard of care, the belief that all illness needs treatment, all the time, with the most expensive options available.”
