Doctors Fear For Medicine's Future

In an article by FrontPage Magazine, results from a survey state that many doctors fear for the future of medicine.

The survey went as follows:

• 36,000 physicians completed the survey
• 90 percent said that the medical system is "on the wrong track"
• 83 percent say they are "thinking about quitting"
• 61 percent said the system "challenges their ethics"
• 70 percent say "reducing government would be the single best fix"

Some key views from those surveyed were:

• 2/3 said the EMR (electronic medical records) compromise medical privacy and confidentiality
• One physician opted out of Medicare and Medicaid over 12 years ago and they stated they have never been busier.
• 2/3 said they are just barely squeaking by or losing money and expect the financial situation to worsen in the next 5 years.
• Increasing regulations have a direct impact om cost of care increasing.
