Quiet here, just heat.
Shawn will be here in an hour, and when he leaves, I have to leave for a doctor’s appointment. Not looking forward to THAT. I wish my regular doctor would get back off maternity leave. She listens to me, while the other doctors seem more concerned about how to interpret what I’ve said.
I try to make it clear and concise, but maybe that’s confusing for them.
Thanks to modern health insurance most clinics can’t make any money if doctors spend more than 15 minutes with each patient.
Given all the minutia they now need to collect thanks to the Electronic Records Act (minutia meant to control your habits, not aid in diagnosing your ailments) most of that 15 minutes is burned with record keeping. The doctor is lucky to get 5 minutes to actually “listen and understand” before giving you a perrscription and hollering, “NEXT!”
