[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]And yet everyone wants an MRI - one PP wants to rush to surgery without even trying a non- surgical option. The clinical Practice guidelines for most surgeries that are orthopedic and nature is always to try non-surgical options first. That is based on the best available evidence. No one wants to work to be healthy- most people are overweight, have terrible nutrition and don’t exercise.

Healthcare is becoming more like schools and the safety net for all things that are wrong in the community. It is not necessarily a bad thing but it costs $.

I am the PP with the hip issue. My point was not to go straight to surgery, but rather the wait time to get to that point. Every step in that process was at least a month wait. For those who think we have healthcare on demand, I beg to differ.  Once my MRI came back as a really bad problem, why did I have to wait a couple weeks to go to the doctor for him to tell me that it was bad and needed surgery? Why did it take me 6 weeks of waiting to have it done? Again, I could barely walk the entire time this was happening.

Other countries complain they have terrible waits, but I’d argue that the waiting time in the US is ridiculously long for a country that supposedly has amazing healthcare. If I have to wait, then at least make me not pay thousands of dollars for the privilege of doing so. [/quote]
