NYC is not America but a Euro style city state existing beyond the American government

Abrupt treatment and poor explanation of medical procedures to patients is deeply entrenched in modern medicine. A doctor who had a major surgery even wrote a book about it, lambasting his own profession for its poor attitudes toward patients. It is a hard stretch though to see the problem as evidence that we are moving toward socialized medicine.

and covid is just such a handy little bug that kills off the old, unhealthy and obese

Not to mention those "breakthrough" cases and "rare" fatal reactions to the vaccination.

a retired NYS teacher should maybe hide the fact.....its insulting to so many who get no insurance help at retirement, let alone age 65.

That was the plan, when Teddy kennedy pushed for HMO’s. the whole concept of going to a physician and paying 25-40 dollars for the visit ENDED. Even house call ENDED.
Recently took a child to the E R that had a head injury, waited over 4 hours and figured they didn’t feel it was serious (or their triage is CRAP) left and went home and monitored the child and took care of the laceration myself. I am now buying up survivalist medicine books as well as prepper items to take of things myself. AND now that the $enate has voted to make all OTC meds and supplements by PRESCRIPTION ONLY, things will get progressively WORSE. STOCK UP and EDUCATE yourselves on whats coming.

Is a nurse practitioner cheaper than a supervising physician?

Floating Feathers: A Doctor's Harrowing Experience as a Patient Within Conventional Medicine --- and an Impassioned Call for the Future of Care in America. Actually, there is a clutch of such books, studies, and medical journal articles on doctors as patients. A common theme is a call for greater empathy and consideration by doctors toward patients.
