The Truth Behind Why Your Doctor Is Going Concierge

from W.O.W. MD - Your Wellness Optimizing Warrior

Our current healthcare system in America is leading to serious burnout among physicians. Why? Because demand is high and the pay is very little. Respect and satisfaction among doctors is low—even for those who perform crucial surgeries. As a patient, you will pay more to replace your car transmission than what your doctor gets paid for a bypass surgery. This is an indicator of where the values in our society lie. Doctors spend years on their education and work grueling hours, racking up debt, but they are no longer compensated accordingly. Considering the sacrifice they have gone through, they are greatly underpaid. For these reasons and many more, doctors are deciding to go with a concierge service, including charging membership and other associated fees. Before you pass judgement about doctors for going this route, you have to understand the reasons why so many physicians would choose to. We need our doctors, and we need to start acting like it. The way the healthcare system is designed doesn't protect doctors and their businesses. They support the insurance companies who fleece you, the patient, and your medical professionals. Doctors want to help and heal people. Ideally not only those who can afford them. But at the same time, physicians have to put a value on the time they spend serving your needs outside of a face-to-face visit. Spending the minimum amount on your healthcare costs will get you the minimum amount of care. The business of medicine is the same as any other: You get what you pay for.   Connect with Dr. Cernaianu https://www.herabeautyandwellness.com/ https://www.instagram.com/herabeautyandwellness/ https://www.facebook.com/people/Hera-Healthcare-Mirela-Cernaianu-MD/100063462643162/
