I am *definitely* wanting to launch into a blog post about allllllll the things I think are wrong with our medical system. But in order for it to be readable, I would have to think and organize and really delve into things for this one blog post. Nah. Not worth it to me right now.
I *will* concentrate on one part of it. Doctors and nurses and hospitals just dispense care, medication, surgery, tests, etc. without ever truly considering the COST to the patient. I mean, will a CT and an MRI reveal what’s truly wrong with someone? Possibly! Hell, PROBABLY! But, at the end of the damn work day, the patient will be responsible for ALL COSTS for ALL tests, procedures, medications, etc.
Personally, I think doctors – in our current medical (fucked up) climate – should be required to have up-to-date knowledge on the costs of things they propose to their patients including the cost of their damn office visit!!
Period.
