A discussion of "hospitalists" reveals they are physicians who manage a patient's care in place of a general practitioner during hospital stays. An anecdote describes how hospital social workers often act as "salesmen" whose primary goal is to move patients off the hospital's billing cycle and into private care homes. Navigating these systems often requires legal intervention or a deep understanding of insurance benefit packages.
