Are these really the people that should be required to work so much? Isn’t their job about handling life and death daily? Wouldn’t we want exactly these people to come fully rested to work every single day and be fully staffed?
I don’t know if there are jobs with similar stakes that are so carelessly staffed and disgustingly paid.
I understand, but you guys are setting yourselves on fire to keep society warm.
In Japan when bus drivers go on strike they don’t stop the buses, but they stop taking bus fare from riders so the company doesn’t get paid. Maybe something involving medical notes so they can’t get billing codes.
That would be the perfect balance, but we’re not the ones taking the money like the bus drivers. Even if we were, they can always send a bill later. Messing with the notes would be falsifying medical records, which is one of the Cardinals sins of healthcare… and is also a crime.
Hey, regarding false medical notes, I’ve got a recently discovered whopper of falsehood. I’m going to keep this vague.
Patient suddenly can’t walk/stand, has very limited sensation in lower limbs. Goes to ER, spinal cord compression protocol clears and they are admitted. Long weekend of no progress. Patient leaves in a wheel chair, almost no change in symptoms.
Years later, they are collecting medical records for new doc and discover the notes from that stay in the hospital saying that all the symptoms spontaneously resolved before discharge. Wtf
Miracled! I wonder why they would lie about it, unless money?
