Burned face to waist.
Just under two thirds of burn survivors have PTSD, anxiety or depression. With numbers like that you would think there would be some vigilance to address these in aftercare. Not really. Physicians fix problems, anticipation of problems is not as likely. |

You obviously don't utilize The Villages Health System....they are anything BUT assembly line medicine. Yes, we all have had doctors that line em up in the waiting room (much past your appointment time) and then after a CNA or PA questions you, the doctor is in and out in a few minutes. The Villages Health System physcians are not paid on a per patient basis...thus they spend the necessary time needed for them to fully understand your problem, concerns, and then fully explain their diagnosis and treatment plan, including tests and the results of tests. I have lived in 5 major cities who had national acclaim for medical treatment and none have come close to the individual care I receive at The Villages Health System. I am healthy, but if I had something serious, TVHS would recommend an expert in the field as a referral. The recent merger of U of F medical and TVHS is all the more proof of the Villages and their efforts to take care of the residents.

Tests are done for several reasons one is cover up the inadequacy of the doctor's knowledge another reason is kickbacks a third reason is to cover their ass back side. and the last reason is that actually find out what the problem could possibly be. It seems and some tests take 3 to 5 days to get back from the labs other tests that should be done at the doctor's office aren't I know people that go in for colds takes 5 days to get the appointment 5 days to get the test back and they were already cured. It just stupid system

I had a medical scare a few years ago and was taken to Leesburg hospital. Very good, professional and caring ambulance crew. A quick blood teat showed it was probably a false alarm, but I was kept overnight for more extensive tests to rule out other issues. The care was great. I got test results very quickly. The nurses were terrific , helpful and caring. My only problem was was that it took many hours for them to track down the necessary doctor to sign my release. I considered just leaving until it was pointed out that insurance might not cover cost of care if I did. Overall I was surprisingly happy and satisfied with the care.

Many doctors are unscrupulous and days of "Do No Harm" are often discarded. Check every doctor on HEALTH.GRADES.com
My personal experience is that Medicare Advantage plans through UHC & FL Blue have the best doctors. All mine are. Research everything else you mentioned by Googling WebMD cat scans, etc. Because of insurance company's significantly lower doctor payments, doctors need to earn more money & prescribe unnecessary tests. Also unnecessary RX because they get kickbacks from drug companies. That's why they have a Bazillion free samples to hand out to patients, many of which are not needed. Example statin drugs to patients whose cholesterol is only 200, 205 & the list goes on & on. |

Unfortunately our medical system is geared heavily toward drugs and surgery because that is what Doctors are taught and it is where all the profit is. There is hardly any training in Med school for nutrition. That is why most will not tell you that animal protein is the major contributor to heart disease, cancer and diabetes in America. Not genes.
Always do your on research. Getting second opinions are expensive and you may receive the same flawed advice. Of course there are many quacks on the internet but also well respected medical sites. A great resource for peer reviewed literature is Home - PMC - NCBI or you may find options that treat the root cause and not just the symptoms such as the Cleveland Clinic.

DRGs Diagnostic related groups. That is how the U.S. Medical system is based. Example, a broken femur gets X dollars for the procedure of setting your bone. If a hospital does that service in less time or with less expense the hospital profits. That isn't necessarily bad but it does change the focus of medicine, the priorities at least. |
