Not sure how much you are actually in the business here, but almost everything you write is incorrect for literally every single doctor we know (cca 50, variously close, everything from GP to heart/neurosurgeons). You are clearly talking about German part, I talk about French, but still same general rules do apply. Its trivial to sue a doctor, my wife, on her effin' first night shift in the country here got involved death of a patient and got into court case that took 6 months of court hearings to resolve. Not her fault, wasn't her patient even, but she still had to spent ridiculous amount of time for it outside work to get finally cleared. Her colleague at this moment is getting sued, almost immediately after situation, for overlooking a cancer, when markers from test twice were non-conclusive (I don't/can't go into details, its a very complex case). Suing is very common here, its just that in case error can't be proved on their side, they have cca decent (and expensive) legal insurance. If they don't, license revocation, life-destroying fines, or even jail are on the table. Cases like this are common. This is very common for GPs with their own practice too, since they see more patients than some specialists. Also not sure why you degrade other's people mental issues when under semi-constant decades of pressure from all sides. "Yeah people may cry" - this ain't how mental issues and burnout should be acknowledged. Please show some respect they properly deserve, you clearly are an outsider to profession and I sense some envy in between your lines. If its that bad with your life, go and start medicine studies, schools are open for anybody of any age and public schools here are free. Last part - yes unemployment isn't generally high among doctors willing to work, but ie check canton Geneve now - no new GP licenses are granted (as = 0), and old folks are retiring fast. People are desperate to get a GP, I have colleagues begging me to find somebody via my wife for them, new doctors need to travel 2-3h every day to other cantons to find work, and some are properly desperate. As IT guy, I don't know a single capable colleague who has even similar employment issues, companies are always hiring good seniors, and there are tons of companies needing good IT folks left and right. |
