[TheForge] the doctor dance OT: was Long time no read

[Peter Fels & Phoebe Palmer]

I'll stick to molesting metal....thanks.
Can you imagine what it's like to be in the white coat yourself....
Overworked and underpaid, lacking sleep, 
under constant pressure from hospital administrators  to do more with less,
and inundated with bullship paperwork,
seeing an unending parade of beat-down and beat up patients.
half of whom are depressed or suicidal and don't care,
and the other half are arrogant, demeaning, suspicious, and sure they are the most important people in the world,
all complaining and demanding and withholding critical information?
Meanwhile, during the changeover to digital records from illegible doctor's shorthand,
neither kind of records are available when you need them....
and there is a waiting room full of poor bleeding souls waiting for their 10 minutes of your time....
Lowest bidder services isn't always the best way to go.
Americans pay the most for the worst medical care of any industrialized nation, generally speaking.
