Medical Care in this Area

[JB White]

Many times good doctors are pressured by the corporate takeovers of all the hospitals. Follow their whiz kid guidelines or lose affiliations.
My own doctor retired in disgust. Between corporate takeovers and insurance companies forcing patients to constantly change caregivers.

I overheard a doctor telling someone he had to “see” 40 patients that day to maintain the corporate quotas.
40 patients…not much time to listen let alone make a diagnosis.

I just found this article that states that there are over 250,000 medical error caused deaths in the USA per year.

Thank you Mark.

I feel in my area that cause would be at least 2nd. As mentioned before, this area is considered a resort area with many wanting to move here but few bring anything to the table except their appetites. We have young doctors fresh out of school who know nothing, experienced doctors that have so many malpractice lawsuits on them that no decent hospital will employ them so they open up private practices. Their patients soon discover why it is so easy to get an appointment. Lastly, we have the old fart doctors moving here in preparation to retire. The only service they provide is to refer you to a specialist. A waste of everyone's time.

The old school, home town GP doctor is gone. Few will go out on a limb and even prescribe something. A person is usually better off researching their ailments on-line and finding someone, somewhere who know what the hell they are doing, contact them and proceed if possible (almost always out of state). A patient here will have to go from doctor to doctor, specialist to specialist till test are done (if ever).

The result of socialism/socialized medical care/obamacare.

We all (GOP) saw this coming and warned of it.

I read of patient complaints like this in the Daily Mail from people in the UK where they've had socialized medicare care for many years now. At least most of their doctors seem to have walking around sense though.
