I had a doctor appointment today. During the recent unpleasantless I ditched my corporate doctor and found a practice that actually knows how to think for themselves.
As we were talking, she made some comments that showed that she distrusts the CDC and the all important narrative.
Serious question: How do you pursue this course? Where do you start your search for such health\science minded physicians.
My PCP is under contract with the Cleveland Clinic. The Cleveland Clinic is NOT interested in good health outcomes unless they are making huge profits. First hand knowledge of this after YEARs of service. When they started tacking on $80 facility fees for every visit, I knew that they were not interested in anything before the almighty dollar. Just the facility fees for the doctors at the location I go to amounts to 12 million dollars a year. And that’s just using an exam room. If you have a procedure done the fees are vastly larger. 800 dollars to use the laser to remove a wart from my son’s toe, for example.
In any event, we’re looking and don’t really know where to start. Trying to find a PCP that is not affiliated with one of the large hospital systems seems like the right course, but would appreciate some advice.
thanks!
