...that causes some patient advocates to bristle. In effect, they contend, doctors double dip - earning money from procedures as well as the overall operation of the hospital, of which they are shareholders. That provides plenty of incentive for physicians, who typically also work part-time at the local community nonprofit hospital, to recommend their easy-to-treat patients go across town to have procedures done at the private hospital where the doctors are investors.
