People associate everything with the hospital and don't realize that doctors are frequently part of independent practices.

I remember vividly when my grandmother was in an awful hospital in NYC dying, I found the hospitalist to talk about her situation. He claimed to not Treating her and had no idea who was and directed me to another doctor. Yet he was standing at the station, with my grandmother's chart open with marking that he had just added her condition.

He actually told me the truth, but he was sitting there with a stack of files defrauding Medicare. Whatever profit the hospital was or wasn't making, the doctor was ringing his till.
