[QUOTE="tRidiot, post: 1665580, member: 9374"] What I mean is they've regulated it and legislated it to the point that doctors HAVE to overbook in order to make a good living. So they don't have the ability to leave open enough same-day appointments for people who are newly-sick with acute illnesses. This means they all end up going to the ER and getting crappy care from me. Which I'll admit. ER is crappy care, the doc there doesn't know you, your history, your preferences, your personality and you get the bare minimum necessary to get you patched up and out the door. I know family doctors who regularly see 40-60 patients per day... on top of seeing patients in the hospital each morning as well. Can you explain to me how these docs can POSSIBLY provide decent and adequate care to their patients? I don't think they can... period. If I ever go back to office practice, it'll be cash-only up front with a timer in the room. You've got 15, 30 or 60 minutes of my time, depending on what you've paid for up-front. While I'm there... you have my undivided attention. But don't ask me to deal with your insurance company or paperwork, unless you're making an appointment to come in and do it. [/QUOTE]
