Chief here, starting my interview process for a job. Recently went to a place where they claimed nearly all the spine cases were double scrubbed with a neurosurgeon and ortho spine surgeon working in tandem. They called it a perfect collaboration because "the ortho docs will bring you more patients than you could ever see". Each doc basically works with a single ortho surgeon for all their spine cases, and they refer patients back and forth. They all came from good training programs so I assume they could do this stuff themselves if they wanted, but doesn't seem like they do.
Sounded very fishy to me, just an easy way to double bill. Is this commonplace in PP? If so...how the hell has nobody caught on?
