Doctors refusing patients..

Well the office staff need to be schooled and the insurance industry overhauled. Ask any doctor about insurances and you will get an ear full...With the staff, a doctor puts trust in them to do their job with the doctors welfare at hand....and yes, some do need schooling, because its five o'clock and all they care about is going home..... |

The Declaration of Geneva, as currently amended, reads: At the time of being admitted as a member of the medical profession: * I solemnly pledge to consecrate my life to the service of humanity; * I will give to my teachers the respect and gratitude that is their due; * I will practise my profession with conscience and dignity; * The health of my patient will be my first consideration; * I will respect the secrets that are confided in me, even after the patient has died; * I will maintain by all the means in my power, the honour and the noble traditions of the medical profession; * My colleagues will be my sisters and brothers; * I will not permit considerations of age, disease or disability, creed, ethnic origin, gender, nationality, political affiliation, race, sexual orientation, social standing or any other factor to intervene between my duty and my patient; * I will maintain the utmost respect for human life; * I will not use my medical knowledge to violate human rights and civil liberties, even under threat; * I make these promises solemnly, freely and upon my honour. nuff said. 
I truley believe doctors are turning patients aways...not on the basis of any discrimination, but on the shortage of time to be devoted to a patient. I graduated in July 07 as a Doctor of chiropratic, we spend more time with patients than your General practioner, as our field is more hands on approach. I know for a fact that, if you enter a doctors office demanding help, you will get treated-only if you actually see the Doctor, as I can tell you that the Doctor is not the one turning you away, it is his office staff. We as doctors take a oath, and would be legally in volation of it. Remember this, we are people, just as you, and you need to think of quality care...meaning...if a doctor is trying to treat 120 patients in a day, truley how can he ?? we are all human and noone wants to be over worked, nor does anyone want their life at jeporady because of an overworked doctor in practice. In a hospital setting, a doctor is surronded by many other professionals to aid in diagnostic work or patient care. Also, how often have you just gone for one visit to the doctors office? (yes, if its a physical, blood work ect, but you return) If your doctor saw you for oncology (cancer work)in say May 15, you had blood drawn on the 17th, yet if he took on new patients everyday could not see you till August sometime, you would not be a happy camper..... Every doctor has the choice to specialize within their field of work. And with Medical insurances out there, who dictate your care, they may have to refer you to someone else as they dont "specialize" in your "problem".....This is a very watered down version...of my opinion....thanks |
