See Comment Running in The Rain .ELLINGTON  Doctors used to all be like that. What changed? Was it medicare when it was enacted? Was it medical insurance companies? My family doctor lived three doors down from me in the 50's. He asked questions, observed, listened---office calls were always longer than the 15 minutes or the less that is common today. When my mother was 42 and became pregnant with my brother, they discovered she was O- and she had had 2 children already who were A+. Our doctor was concerned for my mother's life and also my baby brother's life. Mother saw him every week during the 9 months because he was on the alert for problems. Pregnancies normally did not receive that sort of care from a general practitione... man- i ask my dr. for morphine- he never listens! sorry- probably shouldn't joke about this subject- a friend of mines' sister is a pharmacist- she caught a prescription error for their father- bad combo- of meds...that could have resulted in death- think we are all sadly familiar with stories such as these- they piss me off- cuz they treat people like the herd- just shuffle em through- an on to the next victim.... I dunno Satch. I think it's become big business, and maybe too much defensive medicine. @Doodle, you wouldn't believe the amount of people I deal with on a regular basis at work that abuse prescriptions. It's a big problem here. oh i feel u debbyski- a ton of people out there trying to self medicate- it is a huge problem everywhere i am afraid- Hi Debbyski A friend who used to live here is a Dr and worked in a general practice. She was a listener and was always going over her 15min time slot and getting in trouble for it from the head honchos. She used to say, "most of these people just need someone to talk to" and often times they would not require a prescription. I think big business got in the way of that one. I think you are right Celestial. Hey doodle, you should have my Dr's The first one gave me morphine and when he retired the new Dr just keeps giving it to me. The clip reminds me of my grandparents. Between them they had so many prescriptions. They had them arranged according to the time and they were always swallowing hands full of pills. I don't know why my aunts and uncles never said anything. If a public healthcare insuranc, that is payed by the people in percents of income, this problem will grow up to the stars! Pharma industry is strong and rich enough, to pay ministers and insurance chiefs. The only way to avoid it, is an insurance, that is payed directly by government's pot of fees, because the amount of payment is limited and cannot be rised every month! A example for the good working shows Swizerland. If the insurance get the money by each citizen, it will rise steady and the trend will go to paying of more dangerous medics and lesser helpful chiropractic or similar options. Finally it cost the half of your income and possible the life too. I have what I think is a fairly good doctor. Last year, he reviewed my prescriptions with me and cut my daily pill intake from eleven to three. I must add that my Dr gives me the morphine because I need it and my dosage is monitored closely by me and him too. I have enough problems managing my pain without over-dosing on drugs. |
