All of this has been lost, distorted, or destroyed.
Now, there is the presumption that when a patient does poorly, it is automatically the doctor's fault. Government warns patients not to trust their doctors by enforcing clinical guidelines, algorithms, and crisis standards of care to "protect" the patient from the doctor.
I could’ve sued every doctor my wife and I have seen (for good cause) but chose not to for several reasons. Doctors are more interested in their licences and litigation mitigation than caring for the patient. As a result, they harm patients. They’re too scared to doctor anymore. They do cookbook diagnosis and treatments erring on the conservative side to the detriment of the patient. They don’t listen to the patient and history. Our medical industry is in a free fall and all the while technological advances are being made but mostly for naught.
see the problem with the goverment being involved is people need to be more discerning about what the dr’s are pushing.
as an aside: i worked doing direct patient care in hospitals in the 70’s and early 80’s, them moved into health insurance side in the 90’s.
up until the time of the jug eared magic negro and his wonderkind health care for all!! we still had faith in dr’s
as for me i do research on everything the dr’s tell me i need done, or knowing my past medical history i can request studys done.
