When you were all studying to be doctors did you realize that good treatment and attitude were based on how much money or incentive was in it for you?  How do you people sleep at night knowing you have patients who live in fear and all you do is tell them, abruptly, that they are just in need of stress management?  Christ...

I really can't believe the attitude of doctors and I don't think you people can justify this attitude by claiming you are just forced to doing what you do because the system is that way. Nonsense.

There is no more consciousness in health care and it's criminal.  Some day all of you will be held accountable for what you've failed to do - provide decent, thorough health care to ALL individuals regardless of incentive.  Just how many BMW's or houses do you need, docs?  I would have thought that one, maybe two were plenty.  There's always room for 'charity', isn't there?  Do you jobs, please, for once.  By the way your patients know when they're being treated badly and they do not appreciate it.  You don't need to talk down to us just because we're female or on an HMO, or whatever the reason.  If we wait for you for over an HOUR the least you can do is give us five minutes of attitude-free time, okay? Not asking much, is it?

Dear barba
Obviously, you are consumed with anger. Again, I strongly suggest professional counseling of some sort. This Forum is not designed as a venue for you to vent your anger, but rather as a place for patients with questions about there health to turn to for (free) advice. By and large, the medical profession is filled with kind dedicated people. Clearly, you do not share that opinion, but do not waste our bandwidth on the Internet with your ravings.
I hope this has been useful. I wish you the best of luck.
