How do you find all these great articles? You must be one well-read woman. :)
Medicine is first & foremost a business...we don't want to believe it because it interferes with our heroic image of doctors. But the reality is pretty clear in the article. I admire doctors who are able to remain true to patient-care above financial gain, but it seems they are few & far between.
I've been blessed to meet one of them recently...I hope he's able to continue to ride above the quagmire that is western medicine.
Call the doctor!!!! I've fallen & I can't get up! A comment on one of the articles I posted! Miracles DO happen! LOL
Thanks Crystal for dropping in! As far as me being well-read....well...I wouldn't go THAT far! Certain topics obviously catch my attention but, truth be told, I usually find great articles through my cool friends!
Google alerts help, too!
Congrats on finding a good doc!
Thought provoking....Julianna was recently pretending to doctor Daddy. She asked him if he wanted a shot, his ears checked with the otoscope, or his heart checked with the stethascope (?sp). (Yes, she uses those words.) Billy said he wanted his heart checked and she said, "No, I will give you a shot." When she finished the shot, she pulled out her cash register and told him it was time to pay! Isn't it funny how even a 3 year old links medicine with business?
I have no problem linking medical care with business-- doctors ought to be paid for their services-- but the CORRUPTION of that business with unnecessary tests is a widespread problem.
For a humorous look at this issue (along with a few others), go to YouTube and look up "Outside Hospital." Hilarious. It was made by medical students, satirizing some common practices at community hospitals.
