He treated every patient like he or she was the only patient, he made house calls, and he sent "Merry Christmas, your medical bills have been taken care of" letters to low income patients.<br /><br />I think it's because medicine has become a business since then. Kind of like a bank -- scary thought. When I had PT for my shoulder the first time, it was always a rush to get me out the door because the insurance companies would only pay for so much. I just wonder how bad it'll get before things change, you know?Sarah Sequinshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08221653054315631804noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1693021141877643973.post-275109866736436842012-01-06T00:25:40.501-06:002012-01-06T00:25:40.501-06:00Thank you Sarah, I might take you up on that.

What happened to doctors actually caring and treating patients, not just collecting co-pays?Melissahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06169867410070759494noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1693021141877643973.post-67501306611025197792012-01-05T17:58:59.120-06:002012-01-05T17:58:59.120-06:00Melissa,

I totally believe you about doctors blowing you off and not helping you because that happened to me with my shoulder injury. <br /><br />I have several people in the family who are doctors and nurses. We don't keep in touch too often, but maybe one of them would have some advice. If you want, I can send an email out. I can give them all the relevant information plus anything else you'd be comfortable sharing. <br /><br />Let me know! My email is sarahsequins@yahoo.com. I know how it feels to not be able to do what you love, and to lose your job, so I'd really love to help, if I can.Sarah Sequinshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08221653054315631804noreply@blogger.com
