There are some good doctors out there, but can be difficult to find depending on what you're looking for.
I'm fortunate to have found a D.O. that I've been very happy with. The downside is that his clinic doesn't accept insurance...only cash, checks, and bullion. The tradeoff has been worth it. You might be surprised at some of the effective treatments you've probably never heard of. I was.
Yeah that is with private clinic's....you need to pay.
We here pay the health insurance,and still get xxx.
I don't think everyone in the medical establishment is that way. But the way things have turned out, it has become a business in the United States (and by the sounds of it an endless drudge job elsewhere) and the people doing it become disconnected from the humanness of who they are dealing with. It is very taxing trying to personally care about everyone you're trying to help - I personally understand that very well. But I think the system is now set up to overwhelm the doctors and nurses if they're not in private practice, and if they are then most times they're in it for the money as far as I can see.
You still find some who really care. My previous dentist was a real gem of a man. Dr. Masaglia, if you ever read this, know I will be forever grateful for your integrity and moral fortitude, as well as your skill and expertise. Then there was a urologist who discovered that I had testicular cancer but had had to give up my health insurance a month before I found I had cancer because I just couldn't pay for it and feed myself, my girlfriend-at-the-time and her daughter three and keep the rent paid all by myself back then. He did a surgery on me that cost thousands of dollars and then informed me that he had misplaced the paperwork, and wast therefore unable to charge me. So he wished me well instead.
The doctor who confirmed I had testicular cancer, also saved me from clinical depression and likely suicide as a result. Can't remember her name off the top of my head, but she was a good doctor. Gave me an entire box of samples of Zoloft for free to tide me over until I got that first prescription filled. Thank goodness I don't need antidepressants anymore.
There was Dr. Marsh, my primary during cancer treatment. He was good. A little distant and impersonal, but he cared a lot more than my surgeons did.
The problem isn't really the doctors and nurses themselves in most cases. It's the fact that to be able to pay for their malpractice insurance here, they need to see too many patients for it to be reasonable. They burn out. Have too much on their minds. Forget things. They're overloaded.
I don't know if that is the case with my current dentist, but I suspect it is that she is either overloaded or inexperienced or possibly both. Unfortunately that means that to get antibiotics, I have to consult another doctor and pay more ridiculous amounts of money for consultation and possibly more x-rays that may or may not end up getting me antibiotics. And this because for decades doctors were (and still are) prescribing them for things they couldn't even affect (viral infections, or no infection at all, just to please the patient) and now we have superbugs that are antibiotic resistant developing.
And now, for the first time since 1997, I actually need ingested antibiotics, and they won't give them to me.
That's fine. I have MIRv3 on the job and I will make MIR better and better. And I will get myself some MesoSilver and use that. I will solve this problem myself.
