All of this rings true from what I&#x27;ve heard my dad, a GP, complain about for years.  It&#x27;s hard for him to watch other doctors game the system to increase their earnings -- not only seeing more patients with unaccountably short sessions, but also up-coding their maladies and ordering unnecessary tests.<p>In addition to the pressure of seeing more patients per day, they have all this new administrative bullshit (ironically in the name of efficiency) preventing them from doing so.  For example, doing charts went from dictation, to data entry in absurdly bad (understatement) EMR software on cheap, outdated hardware that they weren&#x27;t properly trained to use.  And oh yeah, you can have pay withheld if you fall behind on that, too.<p>It&#x27;s just sad, and many older doctors don&#x27;t even recommend the profession to young people at this point.
