Seems an artefact of doctors not being employees.

If their employment status was the same as everyone else’s, there wouldn’t be any effort to replace admin staff with someone getting paid 10x as much unless there was actually a 90% reduction in work (doubtful).

You can reduce 90% of the work - but if the remaining 10% is shifted to someone that gets paid 50x as much, it's still a loss.

I, yes, that was their point. You're just saying the same thing with different numbers.
