That the answer to a cultural-intellectual problem is monetary is not fully convincing to me. Do we really want 30% more attending physicians of the orientation this article describes?
These all seem like valid, but unrelated complaints. On one hand, there is a complaint that doctors are judged subjectively, rather than objectively. But in the next breath those same objective metrics are skewered as deductive and maybe even greedy.
The current attending physicians, according to the author, have a population-wide cultural problem where they don't believe they should have to teach. The author's solution to this problem is to hire more attending physicians.
Many of the issues raised in this article merit investigation, but this piece feels too eclectic in its thesis to serve as a launchpad for policy direction.
