The federal government and insurance companies deciding what patients WILL and WILL NOT be administered, whether it be in a hospital, a doctor's office, clinic, urgent care.
Software companies making programs to make sure the so called "medical professionals" adhere to the treatment practices they have mandated.
Other programs that automatically diagnose illnesses, conditions, and treatments of any condition on the planet.
Medical groups that corner the markets in their areas and beyond, eliminating the "old time" single doctor medical practice .
Drug companies with their hooks so deep into our "LET THE RICHEST LOBBYIST WIN" government, that treatments, cures, ideas, research, and proper education of the medical community is withheld, buried, not legal, hidden or denied from the very people THAT SHOULD BE DECIDING IF ITS A VIABLE TREATMENT OPTION.

All of these things should scare the jeebers out of any "medical doctors" in the United States ... if it doesn't ... it's hard to believe you made it thru that much schooling, are you are still THAT STUPID !!!
They have all the pieces in place to pretty much eliminate health care as we know it, AND most of the genius doctors are HELPING them do it !!! Personally, my doctors opinion, insight, willingness and determination to provide the best healthcare possible, is what helps me CHOOSE my doctors and treatment plans ... But doctors now, DO NOT THINK FOR THEMSELVES, they are told what, when, how, why to treat or NOT. Whether it be the medical group that employs them, insurance company, the government, or a computer program.
Without insurance for a number of years, my medical care was non existent for the most part, and recently coverage has allowed me to seek the treatment(s) that was ALWAYS needed but unaffordable. It seems in my absence the "medical doctors" have given up thinking for themselves, WILL not listen to a patient when they are trying to explain what is happening with them, treating what is STARING them in the face, CHOOSING to ignore the patient, their symptoms, conditions, feelings and hopes of receiving help from them. If you have a doctor that actually listens to you now ... better keep em close. Because these CLOWNS THAT POSE AS DOCTORS are taking over !!!! They have NO BUSINESS BEING IN A MEDICAL PRACTICE ... If you can't take the knowledge you have, listen to what your patient is telling you, make a decision and discuss it with patient, based on your opinion, options, with short term and long term goals, treat said condition(s) without OUTSIDE interference in a HUMANE, RESPECTFUL, AFFECTIVE MANNER !!!!

I personally have dealt with (since the 1st of the year) the BIGGEST NARCISSIST i have ever met (i still can't believe he has a job dealing with people AT ALL, much less a DOCTOR) He went off on me for 15 minutes, because I qualified for medicare !! 3 different Doctors that STOPPED me from telling them my conditions, procedures and current problems.(they weren't listening anyway), 2 that hurried out of the room, because I guess they decided the appointment was over ?? I wasn't being mean, angry, spiteful or anything ?????? I was actually pretty miserable both times ... and both were for different things ... and both left me untreated, miserable and alone !!!!

My CURRENT (not for long) "DOCTOR" has taken 14 FULL DAYS TO SEND A REFERRAL TO A SPECIALIST !!! mind you this 2 weeks (and 2 weeks prior) I have been in EXCRUCIATING PAIN!!! it was why I went to see her (she was one that walked out of the room too)

Another "DOCTOR" a psychologist ... stopped me when I was telling him how terrible i had been feeling and decided to end my ... (yes he was not listening) he stopped me ... said we will try cymbalta ... told me dose info ... and escorted me out!!! I was in with him for 5 minutes tops ... how long should a psychologist appt take ???

NEEDLESS TO SAY ... I have lost ANY RESPECT I DID HAVE for "DOCTORS" ... i will be glad to be dealing with a computer in the future, my only hope is that these heartless, mindless puppets, get the same medical treatment when they need it !!! they wouldn't treat their animals with the same disrespect they show their patients !!!

AT LEAST WITH A COMPUTER ... IT CAN'T WALK OUT OF THE ROOM

AND I AM WILLING AND READY TO DISCUSS ANY OF THIS AND THEN SOME WITH ANY "MEDICAL DOCTOR" THAT HAS THE GONADS

I have to add that computers (or rather the consolidation of software between hospitals within the same corporation) have actually been destroying health care as much or more than doctors. Each hospital has it's own workflow so the same software that works for one hospital won't work for another, yet they're all forced to relearn their jobs because they all have to use the same software. Which means you could go in for labs, have them not realize that you need blood tests too, not realize whether you're supposed to have an I.V. for a scan (can't remember which one it is—it's the giant spinning donut one) and have you sit with an I.V. needle in your arm not connected to anything just to have them tell you later that the I.V. wasn't necessary and they were just guessing because they didn't have the information available...and this nurse, although probably not the brightest crayon in the box, was actually trying to HELP people.

You can't blame the programmers either...the corporations that own bunches of hospitals make sure they can't do their job properly. Healthcare reform doesn't help either...because that's the reasoning (I think) for consolidating software. And oh yeah, it saves the corporations money because they don't need as many programmers.

Blame the corporations and their CEO's for the decline in healthcare. So now, even if a doctor/nurse wants to help you they can't because they can't access your records properly because they don't know how to use the new system and/or the software is working correctly yet.

And no doctor is going to reply...they have to turn in their gonads in order to get their licenses to kill...er practice.
