Reply #5: I Work in the Health care Field... [View All]

[CherokeeDem]

first as a clinical microbiologist and now as a Health care recruiter and I was told by a very wise nurse once that when your current doctor got older to trade for a younger model...one with about 5+ years experience. She said medicine was evolving exponentially and no doctor could keep up with everything. I just traded a younger physician for a seasoned one simply because the younger one, while I really like him, is part of a huge practice that apparently likes it money more than it's patients. I got a warning letter from the office because I forgot an appointment...I was out of town on business, got the date mixed up and called them as soon as I realize I had forgotten and rescheduled. I am now on notice that if I miss another appointment I may be discharged from the practice. No discharging for me, I told them to kiss my grits and I found a new physician...happens to be my parents' doctor. The entire medical profession needs to be overhauled. Good luck with finding a new doctor.
