Deep dives
The Decline of Doctor Autonomy
The gradual reduction of doctor autonomy over the past decades has impacted medical practice significantly. With the establishment of strict guidelines and algorithms, physicians face pressure to conform rather than apply their judgment and expertise in patient care. This shift transformed medicine from a profession driven by critical thinking and collaboration among young doctors into a system where compliance dictates quality of care. As doctors became employees of larger organizations, their focus shifted from patient relationships to meeting the financial demands of their employers.
