They aren't even issues I'm concerned about, but more a checklist the physicians have to follow in order to meet patient goals/quotas set by their practice.
It's also stressful for me when a practice has inefficient or uncaring nursing/front office staff, and when I'm made to wait 60+ minutes for an appointment.
I've become resentful and beaten down by the whole system.
Note: My experiences here have been with practices outside The Villages Health.

Couldn't have said it better ! Have you had ANY "luck" finding a really quality physician that does not have a checklist in one one hand and the quota for the month in the other ? I am just not used to the whole "system" here in Florida. Pretty much like socialized medicine with a more acceptable sounding label I guess. I miss my doctors back "home", not matter who you go to it's nothing like here, but, I love Fl, my home, my friends, and the state so need to keep looking, looking.... !
