Practicing Medicine
All the doctors I know only practice medicine. Are there any who are really good at it?
———- from Cathy Proenza of Colorado Springs, CO
Compared to what? The ones who practice in hospitals are usually better than the ones who practice privately. “Better at what?”, you might ask. Hospital-affiliated physicians make more money for doing less, or so shows an AMA report on medical incomes. Of course the AMA is actually a wholly owned subsidiary of General Motors, which, in turn is a not-so-secret wing of the Sony Corporation. All this is detailed in my book “What Price Progress?”, Laundromat Press, due in paperback any day now. But getting back to medicine, if I were you I’d check into a hospital at the slightest sign of discomfort and let the new National Health Coverage pay the tab. I know it isn’t a reality yet, but sometimes you just have to act onfaith, knowing that all things work out in the long run.
