No longer is the day needed when you call your doctors need to make an appointment. I have a cold not feeling well or I have a rash of unexplained sources those days are gone my friends I just discharge my primary physician Dr. Adler and Dr. Vandergriff which from now on they will be known as Mr. Vandergriff and Mr. Adler... Why should I call him doctor when they don't do anything..
I ended up back in the emergency room this Saturday because I've sprained my knee and I have diagnoses of a torn ligament torn Cartlidge so I have no one to treat me...my primaries refused, and said we're not going to treat you so I can I keep questioning why do we need them.
When I spoke to the emergency room physician he told me that he is seeing a lot of the primaries are no longer wanting to treat patients they want to do physicals and that's about it give you a prescription something every now and then and pretty much they're worthless when it comes to medicine.
I didn't know if you know this most of them do not have admitting privileges the way things work now is if you get sick you go to the emergency room and if you get admitted the hospitalist which is paid by the corporation takes care of you and if they think that you all need a specialist then the specialist is called in I E a cardiologist, neurologist, orthopedics. Again now I have to ask why are people going to medical school are they going because they want to help people is it a calling, looking for money, are they looking for status, are they looking for privilege? I really have to question these kids when they get out of school 27- 30 years old with an astronomical amount of money owed to student loans and we are talking quarter of $1 million and up to become a doctor just to get out and work 8to 4 no weekends and half a day on Friday no admissions no late-night calls no housecalls no calls at all. Sounds like a pretty sweet job to me except what are they get out of it I
don't understand I'm a registered nurse and I know my job was calling I knew that I wanted to be with patients take care of them watch them heal them teach them all on the road to recovery so what is happened I just don't understand now it seems like nursing is becoming in A means to an end and it's almost like I'm embarrassed to be called the nurse because so many people are going into it better so inapt and they all want to go from school straight into intensive care cardiac care
