While I agree with the sentiment, hospitals require management to run well. They certainly don't need the amount of overhead they have, but it can't just be doctors, nurses and patients. Maybe in very small hospitals you could actually have doctors manage schedules and things like that, but once you reach a few dozen people you'll want to have someone coordinating availability and to deal with scheduling at the very least.
- jjav 3y agoI did not mean to imply there should be a place for office admins to do scheduling, facilities people to keep the building running, etc. They are needed, and should be paid a fair living wage for their work. What should be eliminated is the very highly paid class of middlemen who provide no value and just skim profits from the labor of health care providers.
