If I am the patient taking more of the doctor's anticipated time in an office visit or have an emergency that gets him behind in his schedule, then you bet your sweet bippy that is exactly the doctor I want for my care. Serenity, you're my kind of professional and I thank you for your service, even if I don't know you personally. Maybe when we can get back to the point where doctors can be doctors and not the insurance companies, more like you will return. Medicine needs to be about the patient, not the bottom line.

Insightful comments dilly, thanx for the input. I realize we have oafs in the profession just like any other, but somehow there seems to be a view that physicians are mostly greedy, arrogant, and inconsiderate. The system is so completely fractured at this point that the art of medicine is rapidly being lost. Here's to letting doctors be doctors and making medicine about the patient.
