What high overhead REALLY means

[Guest guest]

some ways of looking at high overhead based on my last high overhead job where

74% of

my income went to overhead.

THAT MEANT:

1) I worked > 8.5 months for free

OR

2) I worked 143 days for free

OR

3) I saw 4004 patients for free (I called my last employer and he confirms

this!)

OR

4) I answered up to 20,000 medical questions for free (most folks ask atleast 3

or more

per office visit)

OR

5) For a patient office visist billed $100 I threw $74 to the wind then I got

taxed on $26

remaining by state, federal, social security, medicare and maybe I had 12-15

bucks left

after all of that. So I answered 3-4 questions and got paid $15, yet took all

the liability.

Any other creative ways of explaining the detriments of high overhead???
