Me: 30 minutes past my appointment (after arriving 20 minutes early) watching people walk in then get called back within 3 minutes. Fuck doctors offices so much.
Update: Nurse took me to the room. Answered prelim questions then she left. Still waiting for the doctor 20 minutes later. It is now 40 minutes past my appointment time and no sign of the person taking my money.
You guys need better doctors jfc
It’s the expected effect of our healthcare industry / our governments sentiment towards it’s own civilian population. Treating people this way ensures maximum profit margin.
In a similar vein, our EPA recently derated the economic value of a human life to $0.00. Used to be some bogus number like $2.5mil or whatever that the average individual contributes to the GDP over their lifetime. How can you insure an asset that has no value?
It would not surprise me to see OSHA fully eliminated within the next 6 months, because what’s the purpose of protecting the working force if the economy doesn’t need them?
Christ almighty, we’ve rotted from the inside out. We don’t have a recognized party that actually cares about people.
It’s the for-profit American health system
that’s why 2/3 of the population has no GP and is just using urgent care. No appt, cheaper to the insurance, they still see you faster than the actual appointment
Cheaper to the insurance in the short term. More expensive for everyone in the long term since nobody bothers with preventative care anymore.
also good point
