windsormd1 Posted May 8, 2020 Report Share Posted May 8, 2020 How is this affecting FP’s across Canada? A friend of mine in London who is FFS has his revenue down 65% due to this, and will likely end up making 50% of his annual expectation due to fixed overhead costs! Yikes!!!!!

F508 Posted May 8, 2020 Report Share Posted May 8, 2020 Not just FM... Surgeons at my center have had all elective surgeries cancelled.. Doctors all across the board have been affected. FM are easily re-deployed to other areas of need (Er, wards, long term care). Other specialties have been redeployed, sometimes as pseudoresidents working under other specialists e.g. wards Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
medigeek Posted May 16, 2020 Report Share Posted May 16, 2020 We all bragged about medicine being recession proof, till this happened. It's important to never put all eggs in one basket. That apparently will include scope of practice (ex. those working in EDs or hospitals and not just clinics, had less of an income hit).
