Physicians are as much slaves to the "system" as are their prey (patients). Presently a 15 minute visit to a generally poorly informed non critical thinking physician costs insurance systems around $500.00. On my last visit, a new doctor manage to screw up most of my prescriptions, and it subsequently cost me hours of wasted time and aggravation to get it straightened out. The particular clinic I go to is understaffed, has no genuine patient advocate and the manager of the clinic who pretends to be a patient advocate has proven herself to be both disingenuous and as incompetent or inept as the rest of the crew. You might ask, why don't you change clinics? Well here in Denver they are all about the same. For the most part they all have the attitude that they never make mistakes, and you the patient are an asshole for wanting proper respectful care.

My greatest anxiety is any meeting with a new physician because the odds aren't good that he or she will be nothing other than a sales person doing their best to run up cost with unnecessary "diagnostics."

I recently got ripped off big time by a car repair, but they don't hold a candle to the pick pockets running the medical clinics.

I've found medical care in Hawaii to be of a much higher quality in Hawaii than in Colorado. I think it's because Hawaii is a smaller place where everyone one knows everyone else due to the very large extended families, and also there does seem to be genuinely a lot more "aloha" within the Hawaii heath care system. It's not perfect, but far better than what you can get in Colorado.

Interesting, because my wife is a doctor, and nothing like that goes on with her. She's been at it 52 years, came from a different age. We had an experience with the medical system in Utah back in 2009 and had nothing but good things to say about the care from the orthopedic surgeon, to the nursing staff. When we lived in Denver, we really didn't have any experience with doctors. I sometimes hear of incompetent doctors as well here in Australia. The fact that all of them in Denver are like that, is troubling.

I wouldn't say they are incompetent, but they work within a system that is essentially both predatory and restrictive. My previous physician who was an Indian continent guy was OK, but only in a conventional sense. I got along with him OK, I didn't feel he was much of a genuine thinker. For example he came to the defense of Biden prior to the election when it was pretty clear Biden was a dishonest toad. Disliking Trump is one thing, but actually liking or advocating for Biden doesn't speak well for a person's intellect. Ely, the US is a very screwed up place at the present time. It's the worst I've ever seen, and the COVID mandates are a large part of it. People like you, Peter McCullough, Steve Kirsch, and Robert Malone are the exceptions not the rule. I don't encounter many people with real depth. The type of work a person does can end up deadening their mind.
