Oops. I miss-read. Thought it was CNN. My bad. What I was keying on was it's inclusion in the NEJM.

To do what?

Like I told Mani I just posted it as an FYI simply because it was printed in the New England Journal of Medicine. I've also posted that I don't think the majority would actually quit.

NEJM is a fringe medical journal.

DR's always have made a well above average income and always will.
Of course as the average income drops or rises so will their income.

Not really. Most doctors are overworked and have high overhead. But most of them, IMO, go into the profession for more altruistic reasons. I see that no other country with socialized health care has any real shortage of doctors and we won't either.

More scare tactics from the right.

nice try, do you really think the NEMJ is a tool of the right?

the nejm did not do the poll though del.... it appears they did publish this 'recruiting doctor firm's poll', so i suppose that means they felt it was worthy though....since it looks like it was published in their journal.

there are no statistics available on it, thus suspicious imo....

no listing of how many docs were polled...? 100? 1000? 10,000? usually polsters list such?

what is the estimated percentage of error? +/- % points? again, real pollsters usually supply this....

who were these docs the recruiting company polled, employed or unemployed ones....?

how were the questions asked? did they reformat or change or shorten the questions from poll to results printed....?

just sooooooo, many things seem fishy about this whole thing, especially when you have the AMA saying the COMPLETE opposite of this supposed legit poll.

and i do NOT support this healthcare bill, for various reasons.....but i still find this poll questionable.

It wouldn't make much of a difference. Our "new" clinicians will be student nurses anyway ( no doubt ), if they do stay in school. Few ppl will go into the medical profession if Obammy sneaks this through. And then of course, our country will be bankrupt as it is now, broke. Power-lust drives this Markist.

But did they at least get rid of your shingles?

i'm pretty sure that when their next issue comes out, thepolling details will be included. given that it's a publication of the mass medical society, i'm willing to take it at face value. all of their previous polls have included info on
methodology, margin of error etc, so i assume when this is published (next week, i think), it will include that.

if it doesn't, then i'll adjust my view accordingly. most of their previous polls have used about 5000 random respondents across the spectrum of medical specialties and sub-speacialties, age, and geography. i['ll expect the same level of detail fom this.

 

[Nonelitist]

I disagree.

If Obama care passes, supply WILL INCREASE....it fits the laws of supply and demand....if it doesn't then it does not belong in the "free market" place.

you can't force people to be doctors.

Don't put it past these libtards to try it.

Many of us do go into the profession for altruistic reasons.

However, the scheduled 21% decrease in Medicare physician reimbursement will make altruism more difficult.

And this decrease in reimbursement has NOTHING to do with Obamacare. It's been scheduled (although put on the back burner at the last minute) for the past 5 years.

I don't question the polling methods, I simply don't believe that many doctors would quit.

It costs nothing to say you'll quit, especially if you're opposed to the bill. And it's not like anyone is going to hold them to it.

Faced with reality, I'd guess that more than 90% of the I'd quitters would somehow figure out a way to continue earning a living in their chosen profession.

this poll is not on the nejm's site...i searched all polls

the link is to the nejm CAREER CENTER....from the cns article... a private entity using their logo.

the link it then gives for where the poll comes from.....leads to another site, that ALSO has nothing on the poll....

i wouldn't jump to any conclusions...imo, the whole thing seems to be a FARCE! we will see...

frankly, i'm more concerned that people intelligent enough to become doctors are also intelligent enough to see that they will have more attractive alternatives than a career in medicine at the retail level.

the copyright is that of the mass medical society, which owns NEJM.

if the poll is flawed, we'll find out.

we'll put kinsey milhone on it!
