re: #447 SixDegrees

Many, I suspect, will simply bail, making the situation even worse. Let’s face it - if you’ve been a practicing doctor for a while, early retirement is definitely an option. And it just may be worth rethinking that second sailboat in order to avoid putting up with the bullshit sure to arrive once an enormous crust of additional bureaucracy begins to form over their profession.

I don’t think many active and current dr’s will bail
Yes, some will retire at late 50’s early 60’s instead of waiting.

But the 30-40 year olds, they won’t. What other proffesion are they trained for?
What MAY happen though is that enrollment in med schools may shrink, so short term we’ll have the staus quo as far as numbers opf docs, but in 15-20 years when the current crop 0f 35-45 year olds start retiring ,,, YIKES
