[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Let’s be honest: most docs trained in the last few decades don’t know what they are hearing through a stethoscope unless the diagnosis is “death.”

We have a problem here and it’s a lot bigger than in-person visit availability.[/quote]

You sound crazy.[/quote]

Actually not.  Older doctors know how to do, and value, information from hands on exams.  Many younger doctors just run a lot of tests that would not be necessary if they conducted an informed hands on exam.

I had this happen with an older teen.  Dozens of doctors who spent like one minute doing a hands on exam.  They dismissed symptoms as psychological, passed her along to another doctor, or made her undergo expensive tests that showed nothing.

I finally got her to an older doctor who spent twenty minutes doing a hands on exam, and he diagnosed her on the spot.  Ran a total of three very simple blood tests to confirm.[/quote]

Yup....miss my old PC doctor...he was a real doctor, did not run unecessary tests and used his critical thinking and experience to take good care of our family.   These days, just trash all around.   [/quote]
