[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I want my doctor to be a problem-solver and figure out what’s going on instead of writing a script for a medicine that treats the symptoms and doing nothing more.[/quote]
What if what’s going on is just you’re getting older? I can’t problem solve my way out of you being 75.[/quote]

Ok, but what about all the times this happens with kids or problems that aren’t related to aging?  I can think of numerous examples in my family where it took visiting numerous doctors to find one willing to dig a little deeper to discover the real issue.  Most doctors don’t do this because they’re arrogant or lazy.  There are some talented doctors who won’t rest until they find an answer.  These doctors are worth their weight in gold![/quote]

No, most doctors don’t do this because if they spend more than 10 min with you, they get in trouble.[/quote]

What a stupid system. Everything becomes more expensive because not enough time is spent understanding the problem. [/quote]

It is NOT a stupid system. We have a specifically designed healthcare system that makes a lot of people extremely wealthy. It's called capitalism and the doctor you see is the front line worker.

Two of the features of capitalism are that the front line worker is NEVER the person designing the system and is NEVER the person making the big bucks.
Your best hope is to find the doctor/nurse who internally motivated to provide great care in spite of the system.[/quote]

Doctors aren't just front-line workers. Historically they owned the businesses that established the health care industry as it exists today. Even now, many still do.[/quote]
