if you dont know the full extend of the situation don’t open your big trap.
I’m not rude nor crude about this. I simply told him he made a wide and general statement about the entire profession and that tend to be very counter productive. he doesn’t know what i do, so when he assumed I had no clue about health care he mispoke. and when you fired your first shot you mispoke.
this guy is not just old, but he is disillusioned, and he is disheartened. I’m sorry he feels this way but when he gets to that stage, he might as well retire. that is a fact. when you don’t enjoy delivering first class care to your patients because you are burdened and disheartened, then why are you still in the profession?
these old guys had all the benefits of Big Pharma for decades. have you thought about that before you start attacking me? how many private practice docs of the old days had free vacations, went to free Lakers games, countless free lunches for themselves and their staff, and now when things don’t go their ways, they come out swinging.
these old private docs complaints and complaints away, but have they thought about how health care got this way. It got this way on THEIR WATCH! So don’t tell me that ALL doctors don’t care. that ALL doctors put insurance companies, health plans, and their wallets before THEIR patients interest. That is HIM speaking, and if that’s true, then he SHOULD RETIRE.
let’s look at it this way, this guy had his 30 years of free vacations, 30 years of high rolling life style, and 30 years rubbing each others backs with big Pharma. Why not take his fortunes and retire and live the good life.
