You're blessed to live in an area with such high quality medical care . Unfortunately l live in Daphne,Al. I love the community but the medical care here is in sad shape. I read were someone just posted said they went to their cardiologist and had an echo that and set for a CT scan on Thursday. Good for them. Just for an example of how things are I met with cardiologist on Monday 19th. I had to almost beg for him to any testing by the grace of the Lord he agreed to do an echo. After getting my results back from my echo he wants to do a CT scan. Hd doesn't seemed to concern because it'd not scheduled until June 17, 2025. I hope nothing happens before l can get the scan done. So for everyone living in an area of the country that has better health care be thankful.

Thank you for highlighting this weakness in the American healthcare system. We could do better and we should. IMHO I know solutions are difficult to find, but surely innovative methods could be explored. How about specialists who travel to under-served areas like those doctors who travel to South America or wherever for a few weeks or months to perform surgeries? How about subsidies for patients to travel to the best medical centers for complex surgeries or treatment? With the advent of AI, surely we'll begin to see advances that can be achieved locally.
