Close. The bigger issue is that reimbursement has fallen precipitously while documentation requirements have risen greatly. People who loved the job when they had 20 mins with a patient and two minutes of charting and had a comfy life with a hope of a retirement fund, are now seeing patients for 7 minutes, documenting for 10-15, and unable to pay off their debts before retirement (never mind sending their kids to school, or paying their own retirement.) The job has changed, the pace has changed, and yes, going from “comfortable living” to “oh fuck” has an element to it. I know very few who went into the field just for money though. It’s never been a good career for that, relative to all the school debt and the lost decade of life to education/training.
