t's so sad. i'm lucky that i'm making an okay wage and have a flex account and stuff. this private practice i'm looking at isn't too bad, and i've paid out of pocket before when i was in college and my insurance was a joke. i've been doing some research online and each have drawbacks. i don't want to go to a private practice doctor just cause he or she will never say no to me.... i want someone who is going to treat me and do what is in my best interest clinically.
here's what it seems so far.... hospital doctors are more interested in their research and less in you as a patient. you're an afterthought... something they have to do as part of their job. clinic and community docs see sooooooo many patients that it's unreal. they're overloaded and micromanaged. private practice docs seem to be a favorable choice in terms of collaboration and taking time with you... but you WILL pay for it. which evil do you choose to get the best care possible? what about those who don't have a choice? it is unfair and wrong...
