Reply #34: You know, I do believe the vast majority of doctors out there... [View All]

[Pacifist Patriot]

are perfectly decent human beings and are indeed trying to help people. That is why I have a great deal of respect for doctors who know their limits and "are not taking new patients at this time." I particularly appreciate the ones who do not double-schedule or calculate 5 minute appointment times. They understand that it takes time to see the patients who need to see them.

Now, I do not think the majority of doctors are trying to see as many patients in a day as they can to line their pockets. However, there are some who do and when I have had the misfortune to stumble across the very few I mentioned, I sought medical care elsewhere.

In no way am I indicting an entire profession, but I do advocate going elsewhere if you feel your doctor's medical skills or business practices are not in your best interest.

I'm sure your eyeballs were spinning in your head after my first three words and that's fine. I still stand by what I have said in this thread despite your reactions.
