I do not know. But I've been made to feel like I do not exist because I have not been a "priority" - mostly in health care. So therefore I do not exist in the minds of the people who "count". Therefore they, the people in power, do not even respect me. And I do not deserve respect because they think they understand reality. I don't know.

Hello mountainstream: From my perspective, health care is pretty-much just a giant assembly (or perhaps disassembly) line. I try to avoid it as much as possible. Having to have too much to do with it can certainly be a real downer. Hope you're not having to spend too much time there...

I deeply regret this has been your experience, but I am not surprised.

A story from my long-time pdoc: He told me (2014?) that his medical administration informed the pdocs in his clinic that it was "more compassionate" for them to allow less time for meeting with individual patients so as to be able to see more patients.
