Local older nurse practitioner started her own private practice several years ago. Within a couple of years she was putting a hurting the also local satellite clinic owned by a hospital located in a nearby town and headed by a MD.
The hospital offers the nurse practitioner the position as head of the said satellite clinic. Apparently the deal was too lucrative for her to pass up and she accepted it.
Next thing you know after moving over to the satellite clinic her office visits almost doubled in price, she started writing more and more prescriptions for specific brand name medicines instead of generic equivalents, all tests were run through the hospital that owned the clinic at severely increased prices, etc., etc.
After a few years of working under the hospital's corporate mentality I guess being the caring person she is had had all she could stomach and went back to private practice again.
