This is not a vent board or any other kind of therapy. Before you hit the POST button, ask yourself if your contribution will add to the level of discussion going on.
Important notes on articles:
- Please do not copy entire articles into your post; rather, provide links to them.. We are now links-only for ALL Internet publications. If only a small portion of the article pertains to your post, Fair Use allows you to copy those one or two paragraphs, provided you cite the author's name and the publication for which he writes. Otherwise, put a link in the HTTP Link box.
- Even if you're copying a reference to an article, provide a link to the page from which the article came. We're trying to cut down on duplicate topics, and the posting process will check the link to your article to see if it's already being discussed on this board. At the very least, you'll save yourself some grief on the boards.
- If your first reaction after reading the article you're going to share is the author is uninformed / stupid / a jerk / all of the above, it's not worth sharing with anyone. Not every article needs to be discussed. The more the hair-pulling articles are discussed (e.g. ESPN Page 2), the more the authors will write hair-pulling articles.

What’s the PE sales pitch to physician groups by DakotaDomer
PE doesn’t buy anyone for the people. Physician groups largest value add is its people. How do these two firms come together for partnerships? What does PE employment offer better than a large health system which is at least typically run by doctors and has built in payer contracts? Do they just claim to magically run operations leaner and save money they then pass along to you?
I’m really interested to know when the choice is PE employment, health system employment, or continue the group partnership….what is PE offering? Is it a large up front check? If that’s the case it stands to reason there’s no way salary will remain as high as it was without the large check.
