Hobson’s Choice in Medicine
SPONSOR: http://www.CertifiedMedicalPlanner.org
Hobson’s choice is a free choice in which only one thing is actually offered. The term is often used to describe an illusion that choices are available. The best known example is “I’ll give you a choice: Take it or leave it”, wherein “leaving it” is strongly undesirable.
The phrase is said to have originated with Thomas Hobson (1544–1631), a livery stable owner in Cambridge, England, who offered customers the choice of either taking the horse in the stall nearest to the door or taking none at all.
A CASE MODEL
Half of Physicians Plan to Change Career Paths
The Physicians Foundation recently conducted a survey on physician practice patterns and perspectives. Here are some key findings from the report:
• 31% of physicians identify as independent practice owners or partners.
• Almost half (47%) of physicians plan to change career paths.
• 78% of physicians sometimes, often or always experience feelings of burnout.
• Nearly a quarter of physician time is spent on non-clinical paperwork.
This result is not a good Hobson’s Choice in Medicine.
