PS-Hospitals play surgeons and trauma surgeons for chumps.  Without general surgery there is no ED, no ortho, no neuro no spine surgery to bring in money and no triage/ED doctors making double what surgeons make for 12 twelve hour shifts a month.  We  should not be throwing ourselves on  landmines to make these beauracracies flourish.  Just like the financial mess the weak systems need to die and the survivors will need to step up to the plate.  I applaud the neurosurgery community limiting training, centralizing care and maintaining an obvious high demand.  I find it troubling that a union house auto worker can have a more secure and lucrative salary and pension plan then those of us that dedicate endless , selfless hours to such a needed/demanded art.

Since we are on the topic, for those taking taking acute care call (i.e. emergency general surgery in addition to trauma call), is anyone getting?paid extra (i.e. a certain percentage of collections) for any general surgery?? We are not paid for any emergency general surgery (consults or operations) that is done while on trauma call.? It is considered part of our regular pay.?
