Doctors down here went to the same schools and read the same books as those "up north".
Reminds me of an uncle visiting from Pittsburgh in the early 50's and got a toothache. He had to cancel his visit and return to Pittsburgh to go to his dentist since he couldn't trust a dentist "down here".

OP was only complaining about the doctors here in the Villages health care. Maybe the comment about going north meant looking for a doctor in Ocala. Majority of doctors in TV won't accept the majority of insurance anymore, only Medicare, United Healthcare, BC/BS, and a few others. And for those like me who do not have Medicare yet, it is extremely difficult to even get a doctor. I did have to go Ocala and found 3 fantastic doctors (different specialties) and no problem with any accepting my insurance (which is excellent and has been accepted all across the country, except here in TV). Some, not all, doctors in TV would only consider my insurance if it was my secondary and not my primary. So I guess I too have an "everything better up north" attitude since I go to Ocala for my medical care.
