I live in a semi-rural area working for a small hospital system that is a RHC.
It's my first job and it's been a couple years now, and I'm fed up already. I can't make my own schedule, I get told how to practice medicine, and really, it's just not good. The consistent paycheck is nice but there are RVU production targets that must be met to get that. Administrators are out of touch with reality of daily practice, etc. Every day I come to work i think about leaving and going solo or independent group practice. I like my patients and staff, and I don't feel particularly over-worked. But I do feel like I'm always being told what to do and how to do it, and it really irks me. There are some weird politics in the organization and thinking outside the box is punished.
I know private practice has huge drawbacks but honestly it sounds better than what I'm doing right now. Anyone else ever been in this position?
