...on Monday after Obamacare passed I was in my doctor’s office for my regular 6 month follow-up visit...I asked him if he was going to quit...he said ‘no for now’ but he’s in his early 50s and still has two in college...he was pretty sure that doctors in their 60s would start dropping out however.
.....and then he said something I hadn’t thought about before....sometime in the mid 1990s more doctors came to the US than graduated from US med schools...go to a big city hospital and you’ll see what he’s talking about...third world doctors, some with poor English skills...me, I don’t want to be treated by some guy who went to med school in a foreign country...neither do rich foreigners...that’s why they come here to be treated.
One pleasant benefit of the new foreign doctors will be their fine ebony masks and pretty feathers on their rattles.
A doctor with poor English is exactly what killed my uncle...the doc prescribed two meds that CANNOT be taken together. He didn’t read English well enough to figure that out. This was many years ago in Chicago.
