[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Insurance and politicians who get donations are the problem.

If I told you average income for X job was 170k in 2010, what do you expect that income to be today?  Does 179K sounds normal 14 yrs later?  Guess what, that is the average salary of a dentist in the US from 2010 vs Today!!! How in the world are we supposed to not squeeze in a ton of patients and work fast and brush over the complaints when we have lives that we have to pay for too?? explain this to me!![/quote]

Yup. And people’s insurance premiums have sure gone up more than 6% in the past 14 years. So if insurance companies are making 25% more than they did in 2010, and paying the doctors only 6% more…. tell me if you should be yelling at the doctors or the insurance companies. [/quote]

Or alternatively if you should be yelling at your fellow patients like the one who casually mentioned her multiple recent CT scans for a mystery ailment that no doctor can solve, or the lady in the other thread asking for a plastic surgeon to do surgery on her dead fingernail. Insurances have to pay those ridiculous claims for those totally wasteful visits. [/quote]

You mean me... the CT scan (a repeat) showed things getting worse.  It's a lung issue.  It's clear what it is via google and a virtual doctor but the incompetent primary care and pulmonologists have me suffering for several years.  Thank goodness I got some random primary care who repeated the CT to help me prove someone is wrong.  (needless to say I changed primary care).

These doctors need to be held accountable for poor care.  A simple breathing issue that is easily shown on a CT shouldn't take several years to diagnose (and if anyone knows a good pulmonologist please share).[/quote]
