"In my opinion...
It is over. Torn to pieces. Purposely fragmented into "providers" for corporate structures, MBA's, lawyers, insurance companies and bureaucrats.
Units of production. Patients are "clients" or "customers." Doctors are "providers." The American Medical Profession has been destroyed. Why? Profit and greed. Corporatization. "Healthcare" is big business.

What ever happened to a patient and his/her doctor? Now, patients most often don't even see a physician when they go to a doctor's office, owned by a corporation. Patients are seen by assistants that are called providers.

I was very fortunate to have been a doctor for over thirty-nine years and happy that I no longer have to put up with the "brave new structure" that has been put in place to 'provide healthcare.' I am now retired. My sympathies for the young doctors to be so horribly abused by the "new paradigm." My best hopes and wishes for you."
