Message: <blockquote data-quote="KaseyCoff" data-source="post: 165847" data-attributes="member: 25527"><p>Just like any other service industry - not all practitioners are 'good.' Some healthcare professionals are dedicated, committed, well-informed, and genuinely care about their patients. Others are working toward a paycheck, making life convenient for themselves, not keeping current with what's happening in the field, and - frankly - can't be bothered. The NHS doesn't always help, with their 'hidden parameters' and unpublished directives and overriding emphasis on 'cost effectiveness,' often at the expense of patient health. But a dedicated doctor or nurse will find ways to work within the system and still provide the best care for their patients. Medical workers who just want to put in their time wll do the minimum. I think that's every bit as true of mechanics, or teachers, or cashiers, as it is of doctors and others in the healthcare field. The only thing you can do about it is 'shop around' until you find a surgery or healthcare team that really does put the patient first.</p></blockquote><p></p>
