Shows how much hospitalists check charts.

Yeah, I proved that in 2019 when I was in with leg infection. Different doc every day, no continuity. I had to manage my own care in many ways.

Last time I looked - and this was about 5 years ago - results of hospitalist care were better than your own personal doc. Readmission rate was one of the parameters.

But, I agree, I don't like the system.

I've bitched about the non-personal nature of much of today's medicine, especially big-city medicine, in the past.

"We're going to refer you to nephrology."

"OK, who?"

"I dunno, a kidney doctor."

"Is he any good?"

"I'm sure s/he is."

Sigh.
