Good afternoon Ray,
Thank you for your reply. And if you would like to find out the status of healthcare, you really should read the book "Compassionomics" by Drs. Stephen Trzeciak and Anthony Mazzarelli. It's a major eye opener. Unfortunately and sadly, doctors do not listen to their patients as they should and show a massive lack of compassion. Believe me I realize quite well what I am saying since I work fora family practice at Summa Health in Akron, Ohio. Practices are more concerned with quantity and not quality of care. We see an average of over 100 patients on a daily basis. Therefore, the patients are left guessing and having to search for themselves.

I've noticed this mong my own doctors, Gus, this diminished lack––if not compassion––simple attention, and that lack of simple attention (at least in the case of my PCP, a delightful woman despite … ) appears almost entirely due to corporate-induced time constraints. I find this less to be the case among my more 'speciality' doctors, especially those less regulated (or so it seems, at least to my eyes). An example from only yesterday: I had an appointment with my orthopedist whose bricks & mortar office is several miles from here (oh, I know, numbers of miles don't equal corporate purity) and I enjoyed another of my (seemingly) open-ended conversations. Not a laptop or tablet in sight! Remarkable, I know, at least in my experience.

Life with PN. As Kurt Vonnegut might have said, 'So it goes!'

Best wishes, Gus.
Ray
