Physicians are too busy…
Posted by Lau on August 22, 2008
I am trying to find a family doctor.
First, because I have been denied life insurance coverage due to elevated levels of white and red blood cells in my urine and I need this cleared up soon to get that coverage.
Second, because I just need a family doctor/primary care physician, period.
No big deal, right?
Wrong…
I called about a half dozen practices today. The first thing that irritated me is that no one is there to pick up the phone between noon and 1pm. They are all gone to lunch (or maybe golf?).
When I finally got someone on the phone and explained my situation, they first asked what insurance I had. What? Not: what is your name? Or, how are you today? Or, where are you hurting?
None of that. Just “what is your insurance?” Is that really all they care about?… Scratch that. Rhetorical question.
I tried to call a few more later in the afternoon. What was I thinking? Off course their offices is closed past 4pm…
I should have been a doctor…

I wish I had been a doc too.
growing up, the salary difference between doctors and engineers wasn’t that great.
now it seems like its 3-7 times the difference!!!
if only I had listened to my dad ;-0
