In 1971 my wife gave birth to our first child. She and our newborn daughter spent 4 days in the hospital which was routine at that time. The total bill was about $500 which was the equivalent of $3900 in today's money. We had no medical insurance, but I had a full-time job with considerable overtime, so we managed without any hardship. The doctors, nurses and other hospitals staff were very professional and caring. I remember it as a pleasant experience.
A year ago, a member of my family spent 4 days in the hospital. The total bill was over $42,000. The doctors and nurses always seemed to be rushing and somewhat detached. It was a terrible experience.
Something has changed over the last 50 years. The more our politicians try to make the healthcare system better, the worse it becomes. I long for the days when we had a direct relationship with our healthcare providers without the huge insurance companies, big pharma and politicians getting in the way.
I want to cry when I think about how medical care has changed. Recently I happened upon an old George C. Scott movie, The Hospital, a brilliant satire, which sums up the situation.
Amen. I have been suffering from a crippling chronic disease for the last decade. Every doctor I saw did nothing to find out the cause, and never helped me. I finally saw a naturopath who at least did full tests on all of my levels. He found some things sorely lacking and treated those but eventually he gave up trying to help. I am now determined to find my own cure or at least some relief naturally.
The medical system is full of salesmen for big pharma with no compassion or even skills to diagnose chronic illness. The scamdemic eroded my trust even further and most insurance doesn't cover alternative medicine, so like many people I am left to suffer.
I am glad that there are doctors like you willing to expose and acknowledge what is going on. Thank you for this, and may God bless you.
“The good physician treats the disease; the great physician treats the patient who has the disease.”
We were not made on an assembly line to all be the same, we were created to be a unique individual different from anyone who came before us or anyone who will come after us.
So then I believe it is safe to say, one size does not fit all.

There is a reason it is called practicing medicine.
