The OP comments are instructive concerning the need for each of us to be good consumers of medical services and products. it also is instructive as to te conflict presented to health carriers. simply stated trying to determine which medical professions are ordering unnecessary and/or over priced testing, drugs, therapies, etc.
Medical professionals like all of us are in business to make a living but also charged with our care. Most are good caring people.
I left myprimary care doc here because he in my opinion was ordering unnecessary testing ,etc. Conversely, I have a cardiologist that substitutes as my primary care doc and he is very professional and caring.
Conversely I can tell you that I had the number one surgeon in the State of Minnesota in his field. A surgeon my specialist, who was also listed as the number one in the State in his field, said was the surgeon doctors go to for care
I won't bore you with details, but Ttis number one surgeon almost killed me leaing me in what was termed grave conditions and left me in hopsital care for 31 days, the need for a drug induced coma and 4 months of rhab at home.
Speak up when at the docotr's office for both of your benefits.
