I will bet not the same lines as normal business. Kind of like the difference between net income and gross income only in reverse. LOLAnd it sure does show up on P/L. It's income.

My income took a 20% hit in 2020 and has not recovered. I'm ERYou really believe that poppycock? Now if you said doctors lost money, particularly non emergency types I agree, but the hospitals did just fine…
3 months ago i talked to a urologist. He said due to lack of nurses they were given one OR slot per doc per day. They had a 90-day backlog of surgeries.Gynocologist and urologist?
This sort of thing makes me mad. It is self inflicted and our medical institutions’ supporting of all of this covid reaction is a tragedy.3 months ago i talked to a urologist. He said due to lack of nurses they were given one OR slot per doc per day. They had a 90-day backlog of surgeries.
I asked a kidney doc how their practice was affected by COVID. They said so many of their patients died it was profound. Also so many nurses quit they had to close many outpatient dialysis units and patients had to change significantly in order to get dialysis

And people were laughed at when they said, be careful the cure might be worse than the problem.3 months ago i talked to a urologist. He said due to lack of nurses they were given one OR slot per doc per day. They had a 90-day backlog of surgeries.

Okay. Substitute "attempt" then.Except this time there was no cure involved.
It’s infuriating.This sort of thing makes me mad. It is self inflicted and our medical institutions’ supporting of all of this covid reaction is a tragedy.
What difference would it make? Income is income. A net loss is a net loss. Even though hospitals got more money per patient for covid, it still didn’t offset the losses. Some of those losses were obviously self-induced, like the “no vax, **** off” employment policy. And some was public policy, like halting “unnecessary services”. And some were just fear based in the general public who feared covid more than they feared complications from not getting treatment for their chronic illnesses.I will bet not the same lines as normal business.

I don't mean to use as broad a brush as this will sound as I am but--I have been disappointed to see how many doctors are either unable to read and interpret data, too invested in a narrative, or simply trained to "follow the protocol" to see the ineffectiveness of the NPIs forced on us for over 2 years and not see more of them question their effectiveness as time went along.It’s infuriating.
I knew when I typed it that would be misinterpreted. I read what you posted before and confirmed that with other ER docs, some lost even more. I still believe the hospital systems made out just fine as entities.My income took a 20% hit in 2020 and has not recovered. I'm ER
They survived, sure. But overall revenue was down massively for the ones I'm familiar with.I knew when I typed it that would be misinterpreted.

IU Health must have made out pretty well. Remember that $415MM donation they made?Most hospitals took a big hit but some did very well financially.
