The last couple sentences are a good indicator that you weren't employed in the business arena during your working career. The evaluation criteria you used isn't accurate or complete.
My Mother was on TM for 30 years and she mused to me why her Doc would tell her to come back and see him for some minor thing she went in for. She'd say, "I healed fine and there are no problems so why does he need me to come back?" I replied, "For the billing, so he can fill the calendar and get paid." She'd be in there all of 2 to 3 minutes for the return visit and Medicare got billed. She stopped going back when she knew there was no need. She lived until one week shy of 98.

Yes, because a Dr was thrilled to make the $3.00 off your mother's visit. It never occurred to you that her Dr. was following up to insure her issue was completely recovered. On the other hand, it does sound like the Drs that the two of you had chosen may not have been vetted by you.
Hate to disturb your visions but I have worked in healthcare, dentistry, the health insurance and LTDB arena. Why do you think physicians don't want to work in Florida, old people aren't as profitable for them.
