Generally speaking, physicians don’t have much trouble accessing quick medical care for their own ailments; perhaps they should also apply this concept to themselves, even when they decide to treat themselves. Think it’ll happen? Think NBA coaches like popovich and kerr, who love to spotlight racism will ever step aside for a black coach?
My extended family in my generation is about half medical professionals, from RN to med tech. Most have talked about just walking down the hall to a friendly doctors office when they need something.
That also can cause future problems. Ailments and treatments may not appear on medical records. When my brother retired and went to the VA hospital, he had the problem that there was no record of his back injury or diabetes. He had had everything treated by friends in the hospital for decades.
