Arrogant Doctors

I have 3 Dr’s in the family. One of them was old enough to get out when the insurance company started to dictate to him how to run his private practice. The younger one that had his private practice and was forced to a conglomeration, told the board how many patients he can effectively see per day. They doubled it, which he says ties his hands on the quality of the visits. With obvious exceptions docs today are not the independently wealthy, do their own thing people that we grew up with. BIG business seen them having too much fun with too much profit, and wanted a piece of the action. Many are dictated to on every level. The best Doc I ever met sent all of his patients a letter about 5 years ago stating his disgust with the health care industry, and regretfully resigned.
