Government has no right to interfere in our medical care, of course. However a bigger problem is the corporatisation (is that a word?) Of our Dr's offices. They have policies that all Dr's in the office must follow. I know people who have received notification by mail that their being dropped due to a positive drug test. They have been patients @this office for over 12 yrs. No one would talk to us (my adult daughter).
Dr's started leaving the practice w/o notice. I had an appoint ment w/ a Dr 3 days b4 the appointment I got a call from their office canceling my appointment.asking me to reschedule. I double checked who the appt is with. Different Dr. Then I ask how long till my Dr has an opening? Answer -The Dr is no longer with us. These Dr's left the practice.
They weren't even going to tell me. My reply.. I am no longer with you either.
Long story I know, the point is that big business of medical services is a much bigger problem. My experience is they do not care about the Dr's and their patients. I'm sure their are still good offices out there. But something needs to be done to prevent this.
I am now learning self care and looking for private holistic Dr.
