Nope ... the way it works nowadays is that they're in "group practice" ... a lot of older, smaller hospitals that closed became group practices with dozens or more doctors IN the group practice and the old smaller hospitals rented themselves out as office space and the big money maker, "outpatient" centers where minor surgeries are handled and you go home once you wake up. They also provide "urgent care" as a replacement for emergency room visits for minor treatments, leaving the big hospitals for 'trauma center" use.Hospitals themselves make use of these practices as well. The day of a single doctor and their own office are fading as surely as the days when a doctor would come to your house with their little black bag. Ask your doctors what they think of "group practices" ... this is an outgrowth of insurance companies and HMO's back in Reagan's day. |
