My question is,could care have been given to individuals like this case described without turning the entire system upside down,the billions of dollars used to destroy the current system could have been used to help people get their preventative care.
There is nothing wrong with healthcare in this country it has always been the COST,Obamacare has only made it worse in This regard as well as destroy the doctor patient relationship
We will just lower the bar in nursing schools, get more affirmative action and voila, problem solved. /s
Last two years: I have seen or heard of at least SIX cases of undiagnosed appendicitis that led to complications.
I have heard of at least THREE cases of gall bladder issues being misdiagnosed and leading to complications, one person had a year and a half recovery time.
These are simple diagnosis that would have never been missed twenty years ago. They no longer touch or look at the patients.
We are in the middle of third world medicine, and money is not the issue. These misdiagnoses were perpetrated on people who were middle class and well insured and in their thirties and forties.
As American-born, English-speaking doctors recede from the health profession, their places will be taken by foreign-born doctors and other providers. This happened big-time under Britain's NHS decades ago, and it's basically picking up speed here. I love me some Filipinos, Costa Ricans, Indians, Nigerians, etc. but this is not going to be an improvement in doctor-patient communication, nor in professional standards and quality of care.
Watch and see.
A relative of mine who is in nursing school is being frantically trained on how to give a full physical, and on many other tasks traditionally done by a doctor.
I’m just sayin’.
I am not sure of the point of this article. With or without the insurance, this diabetic patient would have shown up at the hospital anyway. Her example of this patient did not make any sense.However, Obamacare is causing hospital layoffs of nurses. Patients are much sicker than before, and more obese. It is very hard to take care of obese patients with a small amount of nurses. There is more IV lines and pumps to manage nowadays.Computers have made documentation harder. Historically, hospitals have always short staffed the wards, and this has caused nurse burnout. This is nothing new.More and more nurses will gravitate to the outpatient settings. It is easier on the body and mind.
