I’ve often wondered if doctors were offered a reduced, fixed salary, but were given medical malpractice protection, more vacation time, and a weekly limit on the number of hours they worked, how many would take that deal?
If it’s less than, say, 50%, then maybe these patients have a point — most doctors are in medicine for the money.
