[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]There are tons of bad doctors these days.  You’re cattle to them.  They want to see as many as possible, so you’re just prime beef to rack up numbers and insurance claims.  No one cares about you anymore.

And yes,[b] this isn’t 100% on the docs but also on the insanely stupid HC system we have in the U.S. [/b] it has gotten so bad over my lifetime.

I dunno if there are any solutions until artificial intelligence can completely take over primary care. [/quote]

[b]If you're part of the system, you're part of the problem.[/b] I agree that insurance is scammy af and it's definitely getting worse not better. Some doctors are perfectly content to simply pass that suck down the line to the patient so they keep making money, and it shows.[/quote]

This is a ridiculous point of view. There is no doubt that there are hierarchies in medicine and that docs have often been positioned at the top. But the moral injury being done to them by the system in which they have to practice in 2024 is real, and behaving as though they are the principal possible change agents on that is crazytown.

Unless your thesis is that everyone—including patients—should decamp from medicine in favor of something else (what, exactly?) this is just asinine sloganeering, not an actual analysis.[/quote]

You expect "actual analysis" for free on an anon board, but get cutty-on-butty about people expecting actual medical analysis from the professionals they hire and pay?  :lol: [/quote]
