equipment adds up to most of the overhead

if you dive deep into hospital books, which you obviously haven't, you will see why medicine costs so much/ drfreeze

......................................................................................

Hospitals should all be required to charge the exact same thing as every other hospital. It should be regulated.

Set a price for it and everyone uses it.

Recycle older equipment to other hospitals down the line that don't have one, or can't afford one. Keep costs reasonable so the average american will not get one illness and go bankrupt.

If you don't, then the people of America will speak. We are tired as hell and we are not going to take it any more. I think that was in a TV movie.

The times they are a changing

all mansions should be regulated....everyone should be entitled to have their own home right?

and why shoudl GWB be given a better home than me?

so we should all get a free mansion to live in...

and while we are at it.....lets regulate costs on food...all restaurants should charge 5 dollars for every meal

we all have the right to eat!!!!

Glad to have you back.

Look you are concentrating on problems without a thought to solutions.

You say that all Drs would quit. You are right.
But some wouldn't. Then we go about getting the trained young doctors to come in behind them.

Its simple really.

I have never once heard you ever say anything about the medical field that needs changing or provide a solution.

Geezz Louise.

I thought you drs had something on the ball.

If hospitals wern't stealing from us ( that you already agreed they were in billings)
then they wouldnt have to worry about regulation. When you start charging 2800 dollars for a precedure I can get in texas for 500 dollars then something is wrong.

i can get a 50c burger at mdonalds or a 10 burger at a steak house too

the solution requires more market forces and less regulation and the elimination of needless procedures and tasks put in place to combat frivolous lawsuits

ask yourself why health care used to be so much affordable than it is now

a reasonable person would look to see what has changed since then

a reasonable person would not immediately attack the people who work harder for less during this time of change

so far you fail both tests

ok glad your still here.

Lets take these one at a time.

I understand the free market system. And the burger at Mickys may not be as good as a ten dollar burger. But if your relating that to medical care, then getting ten stitchs in your head could cost you 150 dollars in one hospital or 450 dollars in another. So your argument would be that the 450 dollar stitch up would be better in some way ?
it makes no sense freeze.

extra days kept in the hospital as i posted previously

extra CT scans and MRI does done

extra tests done --laboratory tests have skyrocked in recent decades

medicines themselves are shooting through the roof now as overhead in legal fees pile up....

no doubt hosptials, even when getting sued, find a way to make up for it and then some with the legal ramifications

the operation usually takes less than an hour

again, you continue to look like an ass
...................................................................

freeze

Even if the anesthesiologists are getting paid more in the operating room.

Lets look at one day for this surgeon friend of ours,

3 gall bladders 400 each = 1,200

Office hours average day -
from seeing patients........ = 3,433

Rounds at hospital
adminstering medcine
or procedures. = .............=1,010

Drug companies
bribes to use their products
estimated .......................= 400.00

Medicare payments .........= 1,000.00

Receivables in one day......= 1,499.00

Insurance company
claims etc ......................= 1,567.00
...........................................................

TOTALS = $ 10,109.00 per day of working.

With 8 weeks vacation the Dr would still pull in
$3,032,700 in 300 working days.

Why don't we see figures like this ?

Instead all we hear is about how many hours the surgeon is working. Funny how thats one of the few things that cannot be verified as Drs don't punch no time clocks.

That makes it kind of hard to say how many hours they are working........hmmmmm

maybe we are getting somewhere

bribes, medicare payments, receibasbles, claims

none of this is income

more ignorant bullshit

and no one ever makes 3500 seeing patients

lmao

if you do 3 surgeries per day you likely are not going to have a clinic

you spend time about an hour in the OR but there are also pre op and post op things to do

all these insinuations are really unnerving and you would probably get your ass kicked if you threw these in a doctors face

you get about 20-25$ per patient you see after costs are deducted...sometimes less than that

and a surgeon will likely see 10-15 patients per day in a clinic

i dont know where you dream up these numbers but they again show that you are either ignorant or just a fool

MC3 gave that answer from the link you posted.

When its put in these terms, you being dumbfounded by how this could happen seems assinine.

Did you know that these two are equal like this ? Why are you even arguing that. Geeezzz....

And in fact the anesthesiologist is more important to me.
He/she should be highly paid. He got skills.

Surgeons can make theirs in other areas.

Ok now we are getting somewhere.

What is the income in a average day? Where
does the money come from ?

Only a Dr could answer these questions about how they make their money. And they aint talking. I don't blame them. I probably wouldnt either. But that don't make it right or help us keep Hillary out of office.

The surgeon that makes 3 million a year doing gallbladders.

Ridiculous. If you do only general stuff like gallbladders and simple abdomen cases, you are lucky to make 200 a year.

Basically, its impossible to have a discussion with you because you have absolutely no idea what you are talking about.

I think you should go to England. Everyone gets healthcare, there are tons of underqualified doctors (you see smart kids in England don't go into medicine because the pay sucks and you are a government troll), and you have to wait in a "queue" even if you need a fairly emergent procedure.

well OK

maybe bombs will come back in and tell me how much a surgeon makes on a average day.

Lets face it they are businessmen. Getting paid trips and other percs for using products and stuff is not out of the question ? Athletes do it all the time free shoes, all that.

Anyway no one takes me seriously except you freeze. Please come back.
