And then there are phenomenal physicians and nurse practitioners who get overwhelmed by the caseloads. Our medical system needs excision of the profit motive.
jeez, Ally, you wouldn't be advocating "socialized medicine," would you?
seriously, the British have what is probably the most radically socialized medical program in existence, and over here, people love to tell horror stories about things like waiting lists for hip replacements. I've had the good fortune of being friends with a bunch of British doctors, and (despite their occasional complaints about understaffed hospitals, etc.) they all say the exact same thing, which is that "at its best, it works PERFECTLY." house calls and EVERYTHING. one of them did a psychiatric residency in NYC and has written some devastating things about his experiences here.
And I'll bet "Dr. God" is a Republican. There are so many doctors who shouldn't be allowed within ten miles of the profession.

For profit health care is a freaking disaster, and a national embarrassment.
