I wrote this when I was working for a fairly traditional primary care office, a Federally Qualified Health Center, which did have a somewhat preferential pay rate from Medicare and Medicaid, in part because we offered sliding feee to uninsured patients, in part because we offered a few “enabling services” as the bureaucrats call it. But we weren’t staffed to do public health work for entire populations.

How we take a medical history or review of systems, from our choice of words and tone of voice to our body language, can make all the difference in the world in terms of what we learn about our patients.

Here’s a piece I wrote once for The Health Care Blog: Interviewing celebrities can make you a celebrity yourself, and it can make you very rich.

WHEN IT COMES TO HOSPITALIST PAY , the news is (relatively) good. Mean compensation for all hospitalists in 2024 was $348,231.
