You are exactly right. They don’t know you and with the way insurance companies and Medicare and Medicaid operate in this country they will never be able to take the time to get to know you.
I am fortunate to have a primary care physician that has a practice built around older patients.
I come in to see her for my yearly physical or a follow up appointment and I get a hug. She has taken the time to get to know me and my family and actually cares about me.
How many people out there have a Doctor who actually cares about them as a person.
My Doctor just turned 50 and unlike some Doctors just starting their practice she treats every person in her practice differently.
If you don’t have a Doctor like that I encourage you to find one. They are still out there.
Good luck in your search.
