Failure To Eject positions? (Sorry, this IS a gun forum after all. )My ER group has seen a 25% drop in patients compared to a year ago. we have already cut two FTE positions.
full time equivalents. basically fired two docs. ultimately we did this through retirement attrition and us working less overtime. but sucksFailure To Eject positions? (Sorry, this IS a gun forum after all. )
What happens when you need the extra positions? Not like you can call a temp service for a doc.full time equivalents. basically fired two docs. ultimately we did this through retirement attrition and us working less overtime. but sucks

Sorry to hear it's still happening to you. I know a few people that will say hell he's a doctor, he can afford it. But I hear people saying the same stuff about me owning rentals. Life ain't free, at least not for me.
Best of luck working thru this.
The ER docs I know in other states are quite busy, but they attribute most of that to covid. (Pennsylvania and New York come to mind). They haven't mentioned their #s just that they are exhausted and pulling extra shifts. They also are seeing things that people put off too long.How do these numbers compare to free states, like South Dakota and Florida?
It is always good when we have those that can correct the record for those actually working in the trenches...Thanks for the info folks!
yes, people are choosing not to come. but we made a business model because we are obligated by law to see all those who show up and we have zero clue how many that will be.The ER docs I know in other states are quite busy, but they attribute most of that to covid.

In any case, ERs weren't closed by any states. So this is more a matter of choice if people aren't going to ERs.
If you don't mind my asking, what do you mean by "75% of our rooms full of inpatients and we couldn't see anyone"yes, people are choosing not to come. but we made a business model because we are obligated by law to see all those who show up and we have zero clue how many that will be.
idiots were telling people to not go to the ER. the only time we were overwhelmed was a few months ago, and that was because hospital was full, not because the ER was busy. the hospital just had 75% of our rooms full of inpatients and we couldn't see anyone
the job market for EM has been destroyed. shifts cut way back nationwide. when the "worst pandemic in our lives" nearly leads to healthcare going bankrupt due to lack of patients I think it shows how absurdly stupid we handled this

Since all the other ER docs I know (about 10 total) are swamped, I don't question your personal experience but do wonder what the info is on "shifts cut back" . I suppose it's too soon to have data on job openings, salaries, etc. I know many had problems early in the pandemic when people were scared to come to ERs (but not forbidden by government) then they got swamped later in the pandemic.
I sincerely regret any problems you are having with your job or salaries. Not only for you, but because in the end that will cause problems for any of us that need ER visits.
This certainly keeps the medical bills down, eh?You’ll be “happy” to know that the med mal lawsuit biz is in growth mode.
