mgh pcp :: Article Creator Doctors Ghost Patients, Charge For Surgeries Left To Residents Doctors at some of the largest US teaching hospitals are blowing the whistle on a lucrative practice they say endangers patients: Surgeons scheduling two or even three operations at virtually the same time, leaving during critical portions, then billing Medicare for work they didn't do.
