makes you wounder sometimes

This would be one good reason to get a second opinion when injured
or sick. My brother tore his lower bicep tenden off the bone lifting
logs. The muscle had balled up at the top and at the bottom
has swelled abit where it had ripped. It was so obvious. He said he
showed it to one of his customers who's a Reg nurse, and she told
him it was bruised thats all. I'm not the smartest person in the world
but I new right away what he did when I saw it.

It took 3 doctors telling me i had nothing wrong and 2 years living in constant pain before someone diagnosed and fixed my stretched shoulder tendon. God I hate doctors!

Yep and to add. Most doctors had compassion
now it's all about money, how many patients they can shuffle
in and out of there office. Five freakin minutes with the doctor
that will refer you to a specialist $185.00.

I totally agree with you, most docs now adays are like that. The doctor I USED to use wouldnt look at you for 2 different things in one visit, he would split it up into 2 visits so that he could collect double on office visit charge. I was once in for a check up on my blood pressure and needed to get a physical, he made me come back days later for a second visit. Health Insurance Compaines dont like this and I reported him. If they get enough complaints they will have a meeting with the doc and if things dont change they drop the doc from the plan. There is something we can do to fight this kind of behavior.

I had a dr just like that. it really would piss me off, and when I was on a pres. med, he wouldn't write me any refills, he would make me see him every single month to get more meds. before when he was out of the room, I looked at my chart and it said he was treating for me a sleep disorder. wtf? I didn't have a sleep disorder... i switched drs after i told him i should report his ass, he threatened to have me arrested but I just left.

Sounds like a real winner. Some doctors say they do it because the insurance companies are not paying out anything these days, but i dont feel sorry for the docs. They still make a pretty darn good living.
