Does More Financial Pressure On Hospitals Signal The Return Of Questionable Medical Directorships?
In the Wild West days of the 1980s and 90s, it wasn\u2019t uncommon to see as many medical directors receiving stipends from a hospital as there are aspirins in a Costco-size bottle.\n\nThere were medical directors of this and medical directors of that. All designed, of course, to cement or bond or align (which, in 1990, was a word chiefly applied to automobile wheels) physicians who directly or indirectly referred significant numbers of patients to the hospital.
