If you were considering working for Kaiser, consider this.
Kaiser will pay up to $49 million to settle a lawsuit brought by the state Department of Justice and prosecutors in six counties, including San Bernardino, that accused California’s largest health care provider of disposing of syringes, medicine, bodily fluids, and potentially body parts in dumpsters bound for local landfills.

How are Resident IMG ’s paying their healthcare bills ?
The place that I come from has the employees health scheme where a resident pays insurance amount as part of their monthly deductions from their monthly stipend. I wonder what it is like for a Non-US IMG doing their residency in US ? I hear the health care is costly in the US and how are you guys managing it ? Will the salary you get paid is enough to handle health care costs ?

I don’t understand how all of these health care centers are all planning to expand their OR capacity. There are not enough anesthesiologists or CRNAs, not enough nurses. Are there even enough surgeons/proceduralists for all of this increasing capacity?
Job markets are supposed to be local but I would say the shortage of healthcare workers is national and yet all the C suite guys...
