I don't know why it takes these f...ing doctors so long to figure out the cause of a problem. All they ever want to do is hand out pills.
I hope YOU never need me. That statement was incredibly rude. Maybe you could diagnose and treat him? "Hey, I read this on the 'net, so I must know more than you do!"
Yep, THAT's why I spent 11 years AFTER high school and $100K on my education. So Jenny McCarthy can tell people how to treat their kids.
I mean, we are not perfect, but most of us care and are trying our damnedest to help people. 12 hour days, no lunch, call 2-3 days a week. It's all about the pills.
I see my 5 yr old an average of 2 hours a day so I can pass out more pills. $1300 student loan payment after 15 years. You guessed it, more pills.
That's why I routinely stay late so I can work extra patients in. Gotta give em more pills.
Sorry about the rant. The tone around here about medical professionals has been getting really bad of late.
When, exactly, did I become the bad guy? You don't want to see a doctor? Wait 10 years, there won't be any of us left. Med school enrollment is down. Nobody wants to go into primary care. We get pushed around by
insurance, patients, bureaucrats and rude people. All for the joy of being the lowest paid of all medical specialties.
So forgive me if I need to stop now and go take a pill.
Isaac, my apologies. I hope you are feeling better. Seriously, PM me if you need to discuss further.
