I could post the same thing over and over again.

The high cost of healthcare is related to the idea that you can sue the doctor, manufacturers of meds, equipment and implants and med centers, hospitals.

YES, if the doc comes into the OR and takes out your appendix while he is drunk, when you were scheduled for a gall bladder removal, SUE SUE SUE!

But, I see commercials on the tube from lawyers looking for people who have been given a certain drug. "If you have been given XXXXXXX during surgery and have developed XXXXXXX you MAY HAVE A CASE AGAINST THE MANUFACTURER!.

The lawsuit goes forward, the jury awards 10 milliom, jillion dollars and the HC system that loses HAS to raise the rates/cost for services....

------------------------------------

Again, Do not fall for the medical series on the tube. No matter what happens, you will not be treated within one half to one hour.

Drunk, rude, substance abusing doctors would never last one day, let alone one season in a hospital.

A miracle drug/test/procedure really works....in the script.

Question you HC provider. Don't go in with a list of symptons you pulled off the internet that lead you to believe your projectile vomiting has to do with
your earache.

Don't be embarrassed to tell your doctor your problems/concerns.

For way too long we have taken the position that "Doctors know Best".

Not true, they only know what info they get from YOU.

Be part of your HC treatments-don't hesitate and do not diagnose yourself.

Check you med bills and ask questions.

IT is you health at stake.
