70% of doctors identify as liberal. That is the reason no one trusts them anymore.
I think this plays a part in it when you see doctors spouting off idiotic opinions on social media and it's not only liberals.
Some may have a hard time trusting a doctor that can't keep non-medical opinions off of social media or a doctor that seems concerned with tiktok dances and memes.

Another “know it all” who must have psychic powers to go back in time and hear private conversations. What a great gift.
Because I had reached the age of Medicare as a primary now and my Federal BCBS is now secondary, he absolutely said “I will lose money and I will drop you as my patient”.

Back in the olden days when people died from rupture they ran people in and cut them open.
Now they know antibiotics and a nasty drain tube with a plastic donut thing can save people. My small scars were glued and in 4 areas of belly and are now red but healed nicely.
Then there are the people that can't put in an IV but where the elbow bends and sets off the air bubble alarm every 10 minutes. They sent an expert in to IV my hand and she was an idiot and failed. I was not dehydrated my veins were awesome.

Some PCP's didn't do medicare. Nowadays they all seem to because there are a shite ton of boomers on medicare now.

My fam member had a ruptured ulcer. Robotic surgery was used. It turned out great.

Thankfully I go to a DO and not an MD.
They tend to treat root causes and not just throw pills and treat the symptoms
Also my DO said I was in good health and didnt need to get a covid shot so.. I'm good with them. Have not ever had the prick nor the chinese cold.

Oh and my hospital food menu was marked SHE/HER without asking me if I was 2spirted or part cat needing a litter box.
The very nerve!

They are really cool.
Vast majority of surgeries are done laparoscopic now.
Not really robotic, but the days of opening the abdomen are largely gone for most routine surgeries.

You need to find a new hospital.

quote:Influence and/or sacrifice really is not the issue. Ownership is. Due in large part to Obamacare, MDs are increasingly not owners of their own practice. They are employed by hospitals or acqui-hire conglomerates. Those are the entities moved by pharma money.
But to do this, MDs will have to likely sacrifice some money, incentives, etc to stand up to the pharma.

Use of special optical filters can "see" what a doctor can't and the minute, tiny micro-millimeter precision of movements can prevent unwanted nicks and unnecessary or accidental damage inflicted by a surgeon. Use of hyperspectral filters can be tuned to a particular frequency range of light outside the visible range of the human eye that allows diseased and/or damaged tissue to be precisely mapped by AI and once the doctor approves, the robot can then precisely perform the procedure with a minimum of exploration that otherwise a surgeon may either miss or cause undue additional damage, and additional surgeries to repair. Robotics are much safer and much more precise

Even my PCP who I spoke of earlier was just taken over. He has been in practice longer than most here posting have been alive, works out of a house converted to a large office downstairs. His office has to be paid for-no lease.
I need to ask him why he did this. His entire patient record portal was gone. They rebooted it.

There are some here that won't get the sarcasm; are so sophomoric-they will now ask about my litter box in mean gotcha's if I dare speak up against certain things.

All true. I asked for robotic surgery but was told they don't do that with appendix. The hospital that had robotic surgery had a sleaze owner group and the hospital closed causing me to go elsewhere.

Ok, Jan.
As you know, system behavior is influenced by intrusive, nonsensical CMS policies/requirements.
