General PSA from patients to healthcare providers: What we want you to know

Stop making me fill out the same damn paperwork every damn time I visit your office. You don't have the shite i filled out 3 months ago?
Stop making me wait in the lobby reading some old arse sports illustrated well past my appointment time because you are finishing your early morning round of the front nine at the local golf course.
How about you treat my condition instead of peddling me prescriptions for my symptoms because the merck or Pfizer rep gave you a ski trip to Breckenridge.
How about you stop charging $200 for a sling, splint or boot that I can get at Walgreens for $20.00. Sound like you are pimping for the insurance companies.
Stop pushing me out the door when I'm trying to discuss my overall health with you. If I have multiple concerns that shouldn't require multiple appointments. My "chief" complaint is that you aren't concerned about my health and well being, you are more concerned about how many patients you can bill in a day.
Stop making me pay for an office visit so you can renew my annual prescription for allergy medicine. I've been taking it daily for five years now. So in your professional opinion is safe for me to continue taking it? We'll no shite.
You are paid way more than the average profession. Yeah, you put in the hours and worked to get through med school but stop acting like you are above others when it comes to intelligence. Their are plenty of other intelligent people in other career fields. So get over your fricking self.

Yeah you are a fricking moron that doesn't know what he is talking about.
Pharm reps don't do stuff like this anymore. It's heavily, heavily regulated. They can't even freely hand out pens with the drug names on them now.

Do you need a Kleenex?

You do know that doctors also hate and have no control over 99% of what you just griped about, right?
1) They hate paperwork, but it's either required by law or is there to protect them from lawsuits by scumbags.
2) Long waiting times are CAUSED by patients who come in and try to fix everything in one day OR come in with emergent symptoms
3) They rush you out to see more people because reimbursements are down and that's how they make money. Thankfully healthcare law is about to change. Smell ya later, Barry.

His complaints show that he doesn't seem to grasp that many of the things he is griping about....are things that are completely out of the control of the doctors.
He wants to be mad...be mad at insurance companies.

Damn bro how often do you go to the doctor? Do you have AIDS?
I go once a year only because my insurance company makes me for a wellness exam. Other than that I haven't been to the doctor for anything else in 10 years.

Not always true, my son broke his foot. His Dr told me to order a boot off Amazon, cost $38. In the mean time, stay off of it till it comes in.

Oh he grasps it. Some providers are just rationalizing. Example. Just one example, same paperwork filled out at each visit DOES happen, even in a physician owned and operated practice. ANother, as evidenced by some providers' posts here, including your post above - 'acting like you are above the patients'.
Oh and this gem by you also supports his post:

yeah, healthcare providers never act like they are above ayone.

I got cut on last year from an injury overseas a few years ago. They treated me like gold and kept me doped up pretty good in the hospital. They called me every few days asking if I needed pain stuff and I said no thanks.
On a side note I swear, Mermaid might have been the orderly in training that wheeled me out to my truck.

Yeah we told my dad's new PCP that my dad is on a very limited income...and the doctor was more than willing to go over my dad's meds to make sure there wasn't any substitutions he could make that would be cheaper for my dad.
So there goes his "doctors don't care about their patients and only want to make money" gripe

This is the only legitimate point you made. Although there are real reasons for you to have to see a physician to renew seemingly harmless meds.
I'm not in the medical field and so could be wildly wrong, but I suspect this isn't a legitimate point either.
The prescribing doctor doesn't dictate what drugs require a prescription. That's a matter of federal regulation.
I'm sure there's a physician's lobby that works very hard to make this happen, but the doctor you happen to be seeing doesn't have the time for this.
