A friend's wife has been near death and six weeks to recover when after kidney stones big as Gibraltar and an ensuing infection was treated for a non-existent pulmonary infection by some black quack.
Partially her fault for going to a doc in a box when she fell ill after having seen a urologist for the stones.
Not a big fan of doc in a box medicine. Most people could get by with first aidr and common sense if they had any.
My son has been weeks trying to get results of an ultrasound for gall stones from the gastroenterologist. The office won't even call him back.
I have spent most of the last month trying to get the doctor to call the pharmacy to explain to them his prescription that does not make sense. Good I am not dying yet. The quack shack clinic won't return calls from anyone it appears.
Most expensive medicine in the world but far from the best. Very far. Medicine in the US can't even commit to process the simplest and most routine things. What do you expect from a bunch of liberal arts / arts and sciences majors, certainly not good organization.
One more example of our failing nation where not much at all works well anymore.
See the hospital scene in the movie, “Idiocracy”.
“Most expensive medicine in the world but far from the best.”
Absolutely. Medical costs here are many times more than in other countries and often care is worse:

Medical “care” alone will bankrupt the United States. It’s not opinion, it’s math.
