The rapid consolidation within the healthcare industry over the past decade has reshaped the landscape, often to the detriment of those it is meant to serve—both physicians and patients. As larger systems take over, clinical autonomy—the very essence of medical practice—has steadily eroded. Physicians, once seen as the key decision-makers in patient care, now find themselves constrained by corporate interests and administrative layers that prioritize profit over personalized care. This shift has left many doctors feeling undervalued, as their professional expertise is overshadowed by bureaucratic processes that reduce their role to mere compliance.
