"The system's five highest-paid physicians were neurosurgeon Hae Dong Jho, $1.26 million"

Our school did rotations at AGH and none of the nursing students were to go anywhere near Dr Jho's patients, our instructor made that VERY clear to us.

Why? I'm not sure I understand the relationship between his salary and what students can do....??

Dont know if there is any relationship. Just stating what we were told. This was the first time our instructors ever had us not work with patients because of the doctor.

I, also, don't see the relationship. In a teaching institution, learning something is suppose to be open to all and taught by all. Therefore, by allowing this physician to restrict learning, the hospital has violated its standard on which it has applied for with the government. A teaching institution is just that a teaching institution and does receive government funding based on that status. If the doctor does not want his patients to be cared for in a learning capacity then he needs to move his practice to a privately owned institution. As a student the school of Nursing cannot reprimand you if you were to professionally partake in the care of these patients. The patient is the only one who can refuse care by a student be they Nurse, lab tech or resident

Specializes in tele, oncology.

Wow...at my current rate of pay, it'd take me over 30 years to make one million dollars. Maybe I should've been a doctor!
