I finally watched Sicko, and I'm sorry that I waited this long to see it... [View All]

I had some reservations about watching it when it first came out last summer. I had just graduated from medical school, and was actually starting my internship year at one of the big county hospitals mentioned in the movie (not Kaiser Permanente). My thought at that time was that it would dump the blame squarely on greedy doctors, and neglect to show the ones who work knee deep in these horribly underserved communities full of people without even the slightest trace of primary care.

I am sorry and ashamed that I fell for the MSM scam of being so skeptical of Moore. If anything, I don't think that he was hard enough on the cabal of physicians who have become the whores of the insurance and pharmaceutical companies. Physicians have not taken a strong enough stand to demand universal coverage, too many of us have been brainwashed by the AMA and MSM during med school.

His film put a face on what has become the perversion of the healthcare industry today. My hospital deals almost exclusively with uninsured county patients, and everyday that I am at work I wonder for how much longer will this crime against the American people continue. I stand in solidarity with Michael Moore and everyone else who is fighting for universal healthcare.
