When a Medical student is in the "intern" phase, he/she has to pay to work long hours to a hospital who turns around and CHARGES patients for the medicare that was given!
Should not these paying customers have the right to demand a FULLY licensed Doctor work on them?
and about the inturns, could not they be giving FREE care to the uninsured and poor? The inter is paying the hospital and that can cover the cost of supplies. I think this should help bring costs down, just manage what we have better.
Also, In my home state, EVERY lawyer must accept a certain amount of pro bono (free) work. Why cannot the doctors also be required a limited amout of walk-in work for free.
I know it soulnds a bit socialist, and I AM NOT THAT!
I can feed a homeless man, and I have, but I cannot treat their wounds or I would do so, at least part of the time.
or charge doctors $20 for a loaf of bread like hospitals charge $10 for ONE asprin! Use that $ to help the poor
