Glad I went into my chosen profession.

I have a rant too, but not like that.

You all would be angry and concerned if you knew just how much government intervenes in your health care and the ability for a doctor to do his or her job unfettered.

He always gets the room between the elevator and the ice machine because he is a whiner. Nobody likes a whiner. The people he dismisses are often in a position to affect his comfort. As Monty Python said, always look on the bright side of life - sometimes that pays dividends.

And, how about some nickel dime pencil pusher with no clue what my doctor thinks rationing my health care to help the bottom line of the bleeping insurance company.

Really!!???

The insurance industry owes its allegiance to their stock holders not to you or me the patient.

+1 on that.

My nurse/staff/myself argue with insurance companies daily. Greedy organizations they are.

It take a lot of my time (ie money) to get things approved sometimes.

I'M the one with the degrees from Rutgers, Yale, and Stanford. I get to decide, with the patient, what's best for them.

I don't give a rip about some pencil pusher with an Associates in numerology from the local community college.

Wow, looks like I got on my own rant there.

It takes more patients for some than others to live in this world....."lest we be be judged."

Yep, especially if you are a doctor. Well, I suppose if you are a research doctor you don't need patients........

Everybody has a choice -- I really love my job once I get the cockpit door locked - every job has it's problems so if it's too much change life is to short to dance with the wrong girl
