All most HMOs do to decrease costs is deny the patient treatment. It's really sickening.

I think I liked medical practitioners when they didn't used to throw drugs at the symptoms, they made effort without all these unnecessary tests to determine what the problem really was. However, people won't accept their own responsibility and make the changes necessary to help themselves. Tests on a dying man, like you were going to care that the doctor didn't know what other problems he had. If you know what he was dying from, who cares?Sherryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00944532662261333590noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-843435065757993788.post-6238712101797607872013-05-10T17:27:17.979-04:002013-05-10T17:27:17.979-04:00Yup, 210 billion in unnecessary procedures is far ...Yup, 210 billion in unnecessary procedures is far too much money.

In some places, doctors have been found to be silent partners in specialist clinics or to receive a sort of bounty for each patient referred. In short, they have a financial stake in all of the testing.Mister Orneryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13037797785076725160noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-843435065757993788.post-53515062996791988052013-05-09T08:55:58.175-04:002013-05-09T08:55:58.175-04:00My wife and I always ask the doctor what can be do...My wife and I always ask the doctor what can be done if test xyz shows a problem? For example her father was about to die and they wanted to put the camera down his throat to look for reflux or cancer. Well, we would know said the doctor, yea we ask but if you find it are you going to recommend we start a dying man on chemo? Or tums? After taking us out around Pluto and back with possibilities he gave up, his intern stayed a minute, smiled, and said good job. People need to be persistent, some things they find can't, or don't need to be treated, so why spend to find it?the yellow fringehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00003652058436636394noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-843435065757993788.post-81510685240184931402013-05-09T07:59:04.119-04:002013-05-09T07:59:04.119-04:00Good for him.
