There are times when I long for the days of the private practice general practitioner who had the time to take your information, talk to you, empathize, and commit to finding the answers to your pain.
Empathy seems to be missing in today’s medical field. Doctors rarely know your name even after many visits. The staff often seem more caring than many of the doctors. It’s discouraging to see my pain doc come in and have to review his notes to see who I am and what’s ailing me.
I have sadly agree with your assessment. “Free Medicare for all” is destined to be disaster.
