The first one was that the common theme of the discussions we had were hospital budgets and cost-cutting, and the second thing, which really bothered me, actually, was that several of the colleagues I met, former friends from medical school, who I knew to be some of the smartest, most motivated, engaged and passionate people I'd ever met, many of them had turned cynical, disengaged, or had distanced themselves from hospital management.
Primul, legat de cunoscuta temă a bugetului spitalului şi reducerea cheltuielilor şi al doilea, cel care cu adevărat mă deranja, a fost că unii dintre colegii mei foşti prieteni din şcoală, pe care îi credeam unii dintre cei mai deştepţi, motivaţi, dedicaţi şi pasionaţi pe care îi ştiam, deveniseră cinici şi nemotivaţi, sau dezinteresaţi de management.
