Sid Schwab: “For physicians — medical and surgical alike — the hospitalist model is a clear WIN-WIN. For patients, it’s more like win-win. The win-win for surgeons lies in the freedom from emergency cases and the ease of call whereby, presumably, one would only need to be available on the phone to one’s own patients and could, if desired, let the hospitalists take care of middle-of-the-night need to hospitalize them. The ability to plans one’s days and nights translates into a considerable lowering of stress.”
