Never forget that Doctors work for the insurance company, not the hospital. Healthcare in the US is a fuckin joke and we are the punchline.
In this case, this is a staff doctor. A person whose job is to review the medical necessity of procedures. So yeah, she literally works for the insurance.
Also, doctors in hospitals are in antagonistic roles with insurance unless they work for an insurance hospital (god, I wish that was a joke). I actually don't know what you're taking about here
Why did i look that up
Apparently not only are there insurance companies that own hospitals but there are hospitals that are making their own insurance 🫠
All of it. Our medical system needs a massive reevaluation. How we run it, how it generates money, who can benefit from the revenue, and who deals with discipline all staff when issues arise. So all of it.
