To me the greatest motivator to NOT go to a doctor in this country is that the system runs on the profit motive. And that means that $$$ is a major reason why people go into medicine. I would rather be treated by a witch doctor with a rattle who actually cares about me and gives me his undivided attention and best efforts than an indifferent doctor who spends 6 minutes with me after I wait 2 hours, feels my forehead, scribbles a prescription, and looks at his watch before wandering away . . .
Thanks for the thought-provoking post.
Thanks and well said @eulalio. LoL at that rattling witch doctor image :) That's the thing... It's big business and they are making a killing. The medical staff are usually cut off from affection and don't know you, they haven't traced the peaks and valleys of your life and in most case they honestly just don't care after awhile.
