You really don't want to look into how private equity groups are buying up all the private anesthesia practices they can to cut corners, generate profits for investors, and kill patients, while actually increasing surgical costs.

These people belong in jail but we live in a corrupt system where that will never happen.

I recently found out that one of the clinics I work in was just sold. I wasn't given any of the details, but I can only assume the buyer is one of those private equity firms.

I'm quitting next month.

The various Christian churches are doing it too, and then enforcing their religious dogma onto what treatments they'll use.

Do you have more information on what places to avoid? What places are bought by private equity groups?

It would be good to have a website or something that lists ownership information about clinics, hospitals, etc.

PE groups are creeping into all parts of medicine, and the results are appalling.

Radiology groups too. It's going to get to the point where radiologist are just at home reading imaging, and PA's will be on site doing all the work. It's already close to this in many places. You're 3x more likely to see a radiology PA than one of them vampire docs.
