[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I want my medical care to be provided by someone who completed medical school and a residency, preferably who is board certified.
 There is no comparison between that and a nurse, even one with an advanced practice degree

Unfortunately the MDs around here who are highly regarded all seem to be going the concierge route. It is not right. [/quote]

Why is it not right? After all that training, don’t you think they should be able to choose how and where they practice? Do you hold all jobs to that standard? For example, a world class architect MUST design public housing complexes for Pennies on the dollar or else it’s “not right”? [/quote]

It does not reflect the values of physicians in previous generations, or other parts of the country (save for chi chi wealthy areas). It means they will only care for wealthy people, and the average/poor patient will be stuck with those who can’t fill up a concierge practice.

Many of my providers don’t work even work a full week anymore. Why should I pay them thousands of dollars a year for no services, just for the privilege of being their patient? (They charge in full for services rendered.) The model is greedy.[/quote]
