I'm glad you saw into that.<BR/><BR/>It's getting so that your doctor is NOT the person you go to for an acute illness. For those, you get out the checkcard and go to Urgent Care.<BR/><BR/>You only go to "your doctor" <I>if you need a specialist,</I> so your primary care provider can refer you to the kind of doctor you really need depending on which of your organs is most ill.<BR/><BR/>Doctors hate this. Hospitals hate this. Believe me, nurses hate this. Nobody likes it.<BR/><BR/>The problem is compounded by local shortages of doctors/nurses/beds here in the valley.<BR/><BR/>You think this will get better?

My doctor said she could see me in six weeks. I called my old doctor and offered to pay her cash to see me. She said she can't accept cash.<BR/><BR/>What kind of fucked-up country do we live in where people cannot accept <B>CASH</B> for services rendered? <BR/><BR/>It's called a cartel. If you have shit insurance, like FHP, you are relegated to seeing ACCHS doctors, even if you're making $50K a year... and waiting in line with the uninsured. My coworkers, highly-paid software professionals, were taking their kids to the county for vaccinations because nobody would take our insurance.Jane Arizonahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16195552678105294874noreply@blogger.com
