That particular deck is stacked against the favor of doctors and patients.

After all, a care facility can probably be reasonably confident that if a patient needs help, doctors will feel compelled to care for them.

Put another way, would you want to walk into a hospital/ER/your doctors office for something acute and get an apology that care is unavailable because the doctors are on strike?

I imagine he’s suggesting a strike where they do not fill out the necessary billing paperwork, like Japanese bus drivers didn’t collect fares or the Canadian customs officers didn’t collect tariffs during their strikes. Not sure if that’s possible, but that’s how I’d think they can strike.

This would absolutely work when the EHR/EMR is down. Otherwise, most of that stuff is automated and pulled directly from the medical/surgical records in the EHR/EMR.
