The loving family physician model is loving retarded. You have to be signed up with a primary care taker or else you have to wait like a week to get any kind of attention. I've been to 2 or 3 of these different family practices and every single doctor I've dealt with has been a loving retard. I don't know what they're teaching kids in Medical school these days but half of the time I feel after going on mayo.com I have a better understanding of medicine, illness, and symptoms, than these geezers and chucklefucks. Their bedside manor makes House look like Florence loving Nightingale.

I'm loving sick and I can't get medical treatment because the only walk-in clinic available here won't take my insurance because I got it through the exchange and I have to wait 3 days to get a prescription for antibiotics I know I need. FTGE.

Yes this is something we are all aware of but because the rich are excellent at making the poor fight each other there while upping their military policing hardware there will never be the kind-of populist groundswell necessary to change it until the vast majority of the populace are willing to clog the gears of the machine with their corpses.

hello :)
there are tons of things to ding US healthcare on but this is typically not one of them... I dont even know what problem you're having. Just go to any doctor, any clinic, or any ER if you're having an emergency. Unless you're trying to say you've been to multiple doctors that have been telling you that you don't need antibiotics. They'll give you antibiotics for looking at them too hard so maybe you should consider

anyways make a real thread complaining about your $823.34 medical bill for your anti biotics prescription but you know after you go ...

WHy not just get a primary care physician if you don't like going to random offices? I don't understand...

There are tons of websites that rate doctors. Go find one, put in your zipcode and browse for doc taking new patients in your area that have good reviews.

Do you want the feds telling you which doctor to go to?

at the end of the day, if you can sneak in and get your treatment started before admissions can get to you, a hospital will haggle with you for money and take anything you will give and call it a success.

i ended up in a hospital being a broke as poo poo 18 year old, racked up $12,000 in bills, never paid anything, and never even got a judgement against my credit so vOv.

I have yet to find a good primary care physician that isn't crazy expensive. Where I live there are not a lot of ratings for doctors because it's a city with a population of less than $100,000.

My previous experiences with my Primary Care Physicians includes one that tried to perscribe me Aderall after I had been diagnosed by a psychologist with Depression because I was "tubby" and "needed to lose weight." Another who responded to my inquiries about peeing too much after being put on a antidepressant (and I clearly told him it functioned as a diuretic) by giving me a prostate exam and saying there was nothing he could do. You know instead of offering to prescribe a antimuscarinic or anticholinergic like Oxybutynin to cut down on that constant urge to go but no. He was completely stumped. A useless retard. I've had a couple other ones two who were pretty bad honestly.

It's seriously easy as poo poo to be upper middle class and get excellent care if you're born in the United States. Just do your work, study hard, and whaddya know, you get a good job and get access to the world's best healthcare. Anyone who tells you otherwise is dumb as gently caress or just lazy.

lol a lot of people would kill for a doctor to prescribe them adderall for such mundane reasons

these are also real issues , unlike the OP which still makes little sense

also anybody will test you for strep throat.

dont get psych meds from a primary care doctor

alternatively move, or get a job in another 1st world counrty. people move for far dumber reasons
