My wife's GP Dr just told her she is becoming a concierge practice

43. It's actually the hospital systems

Forcing more and more and more productivity into the doctors. Mine just retired but she said she was seeing patients before 8 am, during lunch and after hours trying to keep up. She was still being asked to see more because they wanted her seeing patients every 15 minutes and she couldn’t do it.
Not to mention that patients are more and more unreasonable and demanding and outright mean. In a private concierge practice, you don’t have to put up with that. Most hospital systems force you to see those patients anyway.
As an RN, I can tell you that most of my colleagues are ticking off the time until they can retire. It’s not what it used to be.
I recommend that your wife find a good Nurse Practitioner to take over her care. They are worth their weight in gold. Good luck.
