Did I say moder medicine was worse than 20 years ago, fuck no. What I said is people arent taken care of like they used to. For example, My Grandfather had both his hips replaced 10 years ago. After 2 years the cemete holding the replacement hips to the joints failed ( a recall he wasnt notified of until AFTER he made a visit) and came loose causing some slight damage but fixable. He went under and had both replaced only to have on of the incisions get infected. The response from the doctor, and I shit you not, was " Sorry about that" and he turned heel and walked off. That infection cause him to be in bed for 7 months without a hip, at all.
Problem with physicians either specialized or not is there are too many of them and 3/4 of them shouldnt have a practice. I would never call a physician under payed and they deserve their money but it always seem that it costs more and more and more after the fact.
Dont get me wrong, I am not bitching, my mother was a flight nurse for 8 years while getting her masters and is now a ER Nurse practitioner, so I would never say anyone medical staff is over payed but god damn a little smile and humor will go a long way.
