Here are five anonymous quotes on the biggest challenges physician face from the report, which was released April 14:

“Patients have become rude and come with poor information from social media.”

“I will no longer practice cookbook mediocrity.” 

“My company wanted to rent me out to places with a high risk of contamination. I refused.”

“I was sued three times in three years.” 

“I’m overworked and underpaid, and my organization knows but doesn’t give a damn and they do nothing to fix this except recommending yoga.”

At the Becker’s 32nd Annual Meeting: The Business and Operations of ASCs, taking place October 29-31 in Chicago, ASC leaders, surgeons and healthcare executives will explore strategies to drive growth, enhance operational performance, navigate reimbursement challenges and prepare for the future of ambulatory surgery.
