That's terrible. I've had on call jobs before. Do you know what I got paid to be available all day, meaning ready to get dressed and get to work within the hour of the call? $3/hr. Three dollars an hour, to be available on my day off. AND they can put you on call on the day of your assigned shift. So instead of getting your salary, you get put on call for $3/hr to wait by the phone. Burn the whole effing thing to the ground, the system doesn't work.
Exactly, because once again who benefits? The greedy hospital system. They also almost compel doctors to join their hospital medical groups to get a discount on malpractice insurance. As a result, the doctors are forced to pay a “tail” to cover future lawsuits within the statute of limitations. This encourage accepting monies from Big Pharma to pad their income. I am not excusing this practice. The entire medical community is corrupt .
