025 - Dont Throw Away The Physician Career

Published: Aug. 24, 2021, 10 a.m.

b'For today\\u2019s episode, I asked Dr. Barbara McAneny about her upcoming talk: Stop Blaming the Doctors! \\xa0My main intention in asking Barbara to come back on the podcast (she was a guest on Episode #13) was to have her guide me through the malodorous sewer where Pharmacy Benefits Managers live.\\xa0 But since I had her corralled on Zoom I suggested we both give a preview of our Global Summit presentations. \\xa0As an oncologist, the founder and CEO of a large, multi-specialty practice, and former AMA president, Dr. McAneny knows her stuff.\\xa0 Enjoy this short Espresso Shot and don\\u2019t miss the upcoming full-length episode where we wade into the mud and muck of the PBM abyss.
In this episode:
Employed is a big enough problem\\u2014REPLACED is bad news for everyone
Physicians can be haunted by the knowledge that there were better options for their patients
That\\u2019s offensive! There is no such thing as \\u201cOncology Lite\\u201d or \\u201cNeurology Lite\\u201d
No one is independent. Working interdependently is a hallmark of the medical profession
Tax exempt? Yes. Not-for-profit? Ha! No way.
