[quote=sdrealtor]Just got an email from friend the world traveling physician and he’s coming to visit me this week. I cant wait to get his perspective on healthcare around the world. He’s at ground zero and is constantly on the road in modern countries and third world countries consulting on delivery of health care for the WHO and the Clinton Foundation. He is one of the most interesting people you could ever meet. I wish I could have a few of you over to meet him but I havent seen him in several years and we have too much catching up to do. I let you all know what I learn from him.[/quote]
Looking forward to hearing his perspective.
Also, remember that a physician might have a different perspective than a patient would. We have a doctor friend who’s opposed to “socialized medicine” because she’s concerned about how it might affect physician pay.
IMHO, healthcare should be about the patients’ health, first and foremost. In my “ideal world,” doctors would be some of the most highly paid people, but their pay, or desire to drive fancy cars and live in fancy houses, should not be what drives healthcare.
