Do
numbers show I am needed: Do other doctors agree, or is the administrator trying to fill beds for personal purposes, controlling
doctors with exclusive contracts and mandatory employment? Is there a nearby hospital so I can admit to two hospitals
at all times, in case things do not work out at either of them as administrators change?
Are doctors respected here? Are patients
litigious? What is the relative malpractice premium compared to other states? What is the trend in attempted control
by managed care, hospital corporations, or mandatory group practice?
Do I like this place? Does my
spouse like this place? Is the local economy stable?
Are the doctors collegial? Covertly competitive?
Does the state medical board respect due process? The local medical society? The doctors on committees?
Is this a good place for me to practice medicine?
