I understand your point. I don't know his volumes. I think what happened is that the hospital saw an opportunity to recruit a well trained young specialist, and they offered him an attractive salary. And after a year, it's sink or swim. And he is sinking. If he leaves, they'll probably do the same thing again, with someone new. The real problem is that most of the so called "cognitive" services need to be subsidized in some form or another. If you read in some article about doctors who "prefer" to be employees, that is a highly reliable sign that the author knows very little about the healthcare field. They "prefer" it - because most cannot make a living, anymore, in the world of "fee for service" - where the government sets the fees. That article, a few posts below, about the young docs who elect to drop out completely out of the insurance game, is very interesting. I'll bet you that the young doc who charges the $20-30 monthly fee for the privilege of being available for on line chats will do very well. A win-win for everyone.
