It's systemic! Yes! I have great health insurance through my husband's work and I have, for real, gained PTSD diagnosis due to medical trauma - one neurologist tod me I was a liar and a Googler - only half right and a good thing too, since she misprescribed me a drug that would have caused a horrible replay of coming off a dopamine agonist.

Another neurologist told me to just go to an entire other hospital system to have him read the MRI he ordered.

When I complained, the Providence "fact finder" was, I learned later, the department's head nurse.

Being a patient is basically the pits. Too many patients, too few doctors. And the more specialized drs get the more derisive many become toward clients if the dr isnt one of the good ones left.

And the US let it happen. It will never end because our government is weak and self-centered. People just don't matter any more.

It's a silent wave of suffering across this nation, and we can blame generations of politicians, corporations, and their lobbists.

I totally agree. And I don't think it can be fixed.
