Seems TPTB had 2 ways to punish such doctors. Revoke hospital privileges & remove their licenses to practice medicine.
These “hospitalists” who popped up on my radar in 2017..... with covid I saw the light!
They are bought & paid for by the hospital corporation. One’s personal doctor isn’t allowed to “doctor” you while in the hospital.
Only hospitalists & other chosen ones (a lung specialist, etc) are allowed.
[Learned this the hard way in 2017 when my husband was diagnosed w/ pneumonia needed hospitalization immediately; wanted him at the hospital affiliated with the practices of his internist & cardiologist. Not so fast. They could drop by but had no say so.]
Did he have hospital privileges?
