The corporate buyout of medical practices has had terrible consequences for level of care. In the last six months:

After the practice sold, walked out of a dental cleaning, before it even began. Ripped the bib off, stood up and said; “We're done here. I do not allow anyone to talk to me that way you have. You're rude”. The new hygienist was absolutely rude. The practice, before being sold, had 4 full time hygienists. All are gone and down to one who is part time. Either patients no longer need dental care, or all moved away to other practices. Bad sign.

Walked out of semi-annual dermatologist appointment. Showed up only find that I was scheduled to be seen by some new doctor. The facility went corporate buyout. New paperwork in the lobby was the first clue. My former doctor left after the buyout. I sat through the paperwork in the lobby and got all the way to the examining room without wearing a mask, when Ms. Kren Burkenstock demanded I wear a mask, to which I replied that I don't wear masks and besides...how are you going to examine my face with the mask?...”OH WE tell you when to take it off and put it on”. My reply was quick and sharp; “I don't allow anyone to talk to me this way. We're done here”.

Corporate buyouts have even corrupted the veterinary industry. My get on his knees and love my dog examinations vet left after the practice went corporate. Now, EVERY dog is required blood work before simple procedures according to “corporate policy” (READ:RACK UP THE BILL). Found a smaller practice, but even they are trying to rack up needless expenses. For instance, they said that fuzzface needs dental cleaning, which she gets every 6 months. Vet wanted $1300...blood work, anesthesia exam room fees...blah blah blah. I told here that I have this scheduled with a mobile service that comes to my house $215 for dental and nails (90# dog) no anesthesia. The vet blew a gasket. Rude.

With online searches, most patients know what the problems are before we arrive in the waiting room. The trend is to drug you up and pushed by the hottie harmaceutical reps parading to the doctors like drug pushers they are and after you're drugged up, you're offered no exit strategy off the drugs and more drugs are pushed on you to counteract the poisons they sold you in the first place.

Medical “care” has become a racket and the victims of this RICO scheme are the patients.

...that is all

I couldn’t have said it better!

My Vet office is still pretty good about letting you make your own decisions, but they recently started charging a “fee” to use a debit card or write a check. They still do pet rechecks at half price or no charge but I expect that to go next. The exam fee took care of that by going up from $35 to $50. One of the Vets is a personal friend and will help me by email if needed. There are six Vets in this practice but I only trust three. My dogs have been going there since the late 80’s so I trust them, for now.

I no longer trust people doctors or hospitals at all.

Waiting for a CT scan right now.
Office policy is “mask if NOT vaxx’d”.
I step ip to sign in and Receptionist asked me if I was vaxx’d.
I point at the policy sign and say, “What might you conclude?”
No further inquiry.
Easy, peasy.

Nurses and other Health Care people are for real among the most cynical persons whom I have ever encountered. They are mostly all brilliant, highly educated, but the stuff that is funny to them often freaks me out.

I am sorry, but I simply do not see the humor in Rigor Mortis. It is downright creepy. I cannot laugh at it.

I have seen countless times, people who are pretty much dead, but we do ‘Codes’ on them. We do chest compressions and insert chest tubes into people who are for all practical purposes, corpses. I have stood at the head of beds where people have their sternums cracked and their ribs snipped with shears. Does anyone know what lungs or hearts look like shortly after having absolutely no blood flow? I do. Try brown and grey, lifeless Earthy colors.

Oh, but let's keep ventilating them who have an End Tidal CO2 of something in the single digits. That means that they are dead, but let's keep on with the charade of ‘Advanced Cardiac Life Support’ or ACLS as it is commonly called.

Of course, my hospital is a ‘teaching hospital’ and so the teaching is done before the situation is ‘called.’ ‘OK, we have done what we could. Are there any ideas about measures that could be taken in order to rescue this Patient?’

No wonder people in Health Care are cynical.

I made a personal vow between myself and God, years ago, that I would never permit myself to become jaded.

This COVID stuff was the last straw for me. I would never submit to this vaccine lie, nor would I continue to watch rookie Doctors tweaking ventilators constantly. They demonstrated to me that they were clueless and I tired of their incessant guessing. Hey Doc, if they are Hypertensive, ease off on the ventilator pressures.

Finally I just started taking care of that stuff on my own. I always told the ICU Nurses what I was doing. In short order Patients improved, and my Nurse friends loved me.The Docs who rarely went into the Patient rooms would write the new orders, after I fixed their shit.

Of course, it was illegal for me to do certain things, but I doubt that those who lived would bitch about it.

Few will ever know some of the things that I did, the lives I saved. So I come out here, and before God explain to people that I will not be a Cynic and that I see no funny parts of horrible deaths and the fruit of incompetence. I had to leave. Fortunately I am of retirement age. I hoped to work at least 5 more years. Fauci and his subordinate monsters made that impossible for me. Perhaps I will renew my CDL and do a couple of cross country road trips before slipping off this mortal coil. .

Not this one. The Petersburg, Alaska location now owned by a FRiend.

We need another DVM badly, just saying. If you'd like to know more I'll dangle a hook...
