As a physician who is part of a wonderful doctor's union and in the midst of bargaining for a new contract, I encourage all doctors to unionize. We even team up with our nursing union colleagues on issues of communal importance.
@@fezman101 Ah the state is your employer. Ok, I didn't know this. Thank you for the information. Hmmmm, now I wonder if the VA system has a union for their physicians since they fall under the Feds(?) 🤔 Maybe it's just the private medical groups that don't have the physician unions. Would be nice to know this info.
@@bitnbyte3319 the VA system, as far as I know, does not have a physician's union. Physicians employed privately certainly have the right to form a union, they usually just don't organize around it for various reasons. Even attendings in the UC system don't organize around unions.
Very easy to preserve a power structure when people who are disadvantaged by it are too busy squabbling over smaller issues and scraps that they can’t easily unite to confront the common ones in a collective manner. That was a pretty big operating strategy for colonialism too.
Lol provider vs physician. My wife's residency program just unionized. It took a while. The thing that pushed a lot of them over was when the C-Suite was emailing them during the start of the pandemic... From their million dollar homes. They were sending them pictures of their gardens saying it was to help them get through these trying times and that they were all in this together..... Those emails went over like a lead balloon or a turd on birthday cake.

This is too real😂😭 The things admin does to avoid unions is honestly hilarious. I'm a cancer researcher at a pretty prestigious cancer research/medical institute, yet we are grossly underpaid and everyone knows it. There are currently talks circulating of researchers wanting to unionize, and our admin team recently resorted to our version of "in case of union, break glass". They literally placed PLANTS and SNACK-FILLED COFFEE MUGS on the desks of the employees who started the union talks😂😂😂 Nothing squashes a union quite like oreos, a succulent, and the same free coffee mugs that are available downstairs LOL🤣🥴
A few years ago, our nurses Union voted to strike. Just before the traveling nurses arrived to work the strike, management sent out an email asking for volunteers to assemble welcome gift packages for the strike workers. I mean….???? (Management eventually folded.)
If art is meant to evoke emotion, this is art because I've never as much as spoken to a hospital admin and I already have a visceral opinion about them
Oh live sketches are 100% art, a sub-genre of acting to be precise (which is a very, very broad genre of art). There is no question here that this is art.
To the administrators a “provider” is anyone who can enter orders that can be billed for. Doesn’t matter who orders the work up. It all pays the same to them. You really nailed it with this one!
And the patients get screwed, as they get stuck with a Doctor...of NURSING PRACTICE...with a tiny fraction of the training of a physician...at the same rate.
Honestly, this. In every field. Three men have 10 cookies. The first man takes 9 cookies, offers 1 to the second man, and tells him that the third man is coveting his cookie and they should team up to protect their cookies.
@Zach Mate you are ignoring the factor that is IN THE NAME of the system you are defending. The thing you need to run a business, that workers do not have, is not "skill" or "risk tolerance". It is CAPITAL. Control of capital is what gives bosses the power to pay workers less than those workers produce.
I always love the nurse comment because I remember hearing that on a committee and I was like bro. I'm trying to get them to STOP expanding my scope just like im sure other places are trying to get less responsibilities piled on. I'm underpaid and overworked as it is lol.

Your scribe who may be your life line may literally not make enough to make ends meet in this economy so remember provider isn't a dirty word its a word that binds you through the same struggle that management uses to put you down! That's how I usually pitch it because most places don't let you talk about your pay with other employees like we make enough for hush money lol🥲

There’s no intelligent reason to go to medical school anymore. The system essentially functions by taking advantage of those who have the least ability to change it. I expect a relatively big brain drain to come if we continue down this path.

Ummm, I am feeling uncomfortably in the middle reading some of these comments! 😂 I work as a department-level admin assistant in healthcare. I love working closely with my team and I've never been even a little bit interested in working at evil admin-bro level. I definitely refer to my entire clinical team as providers. 🤣 We're swamped! When we're thinking or speaking about the team as a whole there's just too many letters and different titles to spend time on unless it's really necessary. Charge Nurse's reaction was my favorite, you know they're gonna get it. On the serious side though... my level of admin, many departmental managers, and even some of the directors I've worked with are just as angry about the obvious, manipulative BS coming from admin-bro. Helping my clinical team to work at the top of their game is my job, and upper admin is always mucking things up! We're right in it with our team, we definitely don't get protected, and we're the ones dropping everything to avoid a crash and somehow make magic happen whenever they suddenly change course or make cuts. 😠🤬 We lost our union at the hospital where I worked in the OR. Everything went as you'd expect. The subtext in this one is very real and hits home. Amazing job as always at highlighting the very silly and also harsh sides of healthcare.
It’s my personal opinion that your tier of management should run the company by committee and elect people to be in overall charge for a specific term and have to be re-elected by peers. No more of these million dollar contracts for executives that no one ever sees
...and I just found myself named VP of a Union...Union...Union. Admin...we're no longer divided. And we're exhausted. And we actually have the credentials to run this institution. Do you?
That was a ride! Totally agreeing with the budget cuts not being ok, then it drops like a roller coaster 🎢 and off we go not knowing what the heck just happened! 😂
The good thing about the Industrial Workers of the World is that it doesn't matter what your line of work is or what type of worker you are. As long as you can't hire, fire, or arrest people, we'll help you organize. Multiple kinds of workers in a union means there's room for both physicians AND providers.
Here's how I know things are bad: in 1996 I was teaching community college in Bettendorf, Iowa, and these wildly exploited night students working for no dollars an hour were telling me min wage is a handout and welfare, and that unions were an abomination. And that if you were a good worker, your boss would pay you fairly. And little steeltown me was like, I don't know what planet you're from, but it's not any planet I know. And now, only (checks watch) 27 years later, here comes Hawkeye Eye Guy with Woody Guthrie up his sleeve. Right on, eye bro. Late's better than never. Preach.
Administration. Management. Bureaucracy. Politics. Greed for money, power and control. Thank you for articulating what patients are seeing and experiencing on the receiving end. I'm now actually grateful for not having chosen the medical field as a career. What I am witnessing as a patient is the result of administrators declaring profit more important patient care; dictating how physicians practice medicine; and replacing ER departments with corporate run organizations that mainly send patients away rather than ensure their proper care and treatment. What everyone in the medical community, with the exception of administrators, is experiencing is appalling. Your patients value, appreciate and support you. Thank you for everything you do, especially during these totally crazy times. If administrators would learn to change their priorities to treat people with respect and dignity, there would be less need to unionize.
Thanks for this highly accurate description of the capitalist world we live in! I'm going to cuddle my pillow extra tight when I cry myself to sleep tonight 😭
For what it’s worth, though I have no background in medicine myself, I’d imagine that making the distinction between “physician” and “provider” is quite important due to the increased presence of insurance “providers” in making medical decisions.
