Will Patients Be Neglected By The Surgeon Shortage? - Dr. Christensen (VIDEO)

Dr. Christensen:
I think that there’s going to be some patients that are going to have to work harder to get care. I think that hospitals and physicians will have to continue to make efforts at improving efficiency and streamlining care and with the effort to be able to treat more patients, but also be economically sensitive to how expensive these patients are to treat.
