title: Dr. Discontent.
abstract: Physicians are angry, that that's bad news for hospitals. Increasingly, doctors are unable to pay soaring liability insurance premiuyms, are refusing to accept new Medicaid and Medicare patients, and are balking at taking ED calls. What's more, many physicians are setting up niche facilities that compete directly with hospitals in the most lucrative service lines.
