Doctors should be awarded based upon quality of care, not quantity of patients. Many doctors have become greedy and are more concerned about the amount of patients they see in a day than whether they are actually improving their health.
These same doctors encourage continuous follow-up visits and only offer unnecessary prescription medications as a treatment to their patients. These unneeded medications cause side-effects which require the doctor to prescribe additional medication to counteract them; it becomes a vicious (and costly) cycle. I believe such doctors are merely legal drug dealers, who should be held accountable for their immoral and unlawful acts of patient negligence and insurance fraud.

This I agree with, especially with these “interventional” pain doctors using us as human pin cushions, and charging thousands for doing it. Lets bring back the old family doctor, the guy who everyone knows, and the guy who really cares, not some slick young ace, who is more concerned about how many chicks he can dog.

Doctors spend less time now a days because insurance pays less and less and requires more and more documentation making less time for the patients. If they don’t see enough patients, their employer will fire them for someone who will. It all points back to insurance and corportization of US healthcare being them problem. Also cost of medical equipment, malpractice, EHR, etc keep going up while pay goes DOWN. Doctors are squeezed from both sides and they’re forced to see more patients to even have a shot of keeping up
