It’s why my doctor had to leave his clinic for a health care conglomerate, and then retire, leaving me with a registered nurse for treatment.
My wife had a disc replacement in her neck and a carpal tunnel operation done at the same time by a brilliant neurosurgeon who told her she was one of his last patients because he was retiring because he refused to go along with the electronic records requirement. I was at the meeting with my wife and when I said something to the effect that it was part of Obamacare he ACTUALLY CORRECTED ME AND TOLD ME THAT IT WAS NOT PART OF OBAMACARE! He said that he likes Obamacare but the electronic records had NOTHING to do with Obamacare. I mentioned it to a lady in his business office and she smiled and told us that the great doctor had no clue what Obamacare was about. I got the impression that he was the embodiment of the cliched genius who is helpless at anything other than his specialty and the women who ran his office had to look out for everything else other than the actual surgery or the doctor would have been a huge failure.
The memory of that experience is one reason I am very sceptical of Dr. Ben Carson. Oh, my wife’s surgery turned out great, she had some pains afterward but they are gradually going away just as he told her to expect.
