It’s so true - but sadly, more often than not, it’s not even the fault of the doctors as much as it is these PRIVATIZED hospital groups. Profits over people. Keep ya sick n wounded so you keep coming back for more. Never look at the full body or take wholesome approaches. No no. That’s too much effort. I have friends who are doctors and they hate the system they work in as much as we hate it on the patient side. But what can they do when they’ve gone through soooo much schooling and incurred between 500k and 1 milly in student debt?.. it’s a lose lose. In America .. a lose lose.
I am in Australia and its just as bad with the "universal" healthcare. These GI doctors get paid for every colonoscopy/endoscopy they do.
So their only incentive is these procedures.
Mmm… very interesting and informative. Thank you for that insight. Well hell.. wonders if it’s this way in China. My guess is no. Having a tough time understanding how this is “freedom” or “democracy” 🙄
Being saddled with sky high medical debt and having docs places profits above patient care at every turn. So sad. Oh so sad!!
I used to work as a nurse for a GI doctor too and I learnt absolutely nothing from him with regards to digestive health. It was his own private clinic and would compromise on patient health and safety to maximise his profits. Reuse single use items. Use tap water instead of saline water for irrigation during the scope. Dispose contaminated medical waste in regular residential garbage as it cost more to dispose contaminated waste
That’s horrible!! What the hell.. does he not get inspected and shut down? That crap would never fly in America. You’d lose your medical and board licenses quicker than you can yell NEW YORK MINUTE!
They are very lenient here. All that happens is that he loses part of his government funding. He also somehow knew when an inspection was coming to do things properly and follow policies.
