General PSA from patients to healthcare providers: What we want you to know

Stop making me fill out the same damn paperwork every damn time I visit your office. You don't have the shite i filled out 3 months ago?
Stop making me wait in the lobby reading some old arse sports illustrated well past my appointment time because you are finishing your early morning round of the front nine at the local golf course.
How about you treat my condition instead of peddling me prescriptions for my symptoms because the merck or Pfizer rep gave you a ski trip to Breckenridge.
How about you stop charging $200 for a sling, splint or boot that I can get at Walgreens for $20.00. Sound like you are pimping for the insurance companies.
Stop pushing me out the door when I'm trying to discuss my overall health with you. If I have multiple concerns that shouldn't require multiple appointments. My "chief" complaint is that you aren't concerned about my health and well being, you are more concerned about how many patients you can bill in a day.
Stop making me pay for an office visit so you can renew my annual prescription for allergy medicine. I've been taking it daily for five years now. So in your professional opinion is safe for me to continue taking it? We'll no shite.
You are paid way more than the average profession. Yeah, you put in the hours and worked to get through med school but stop acting like you are above others when it comes to intelligence. Their are plenty of other intelligent people in other career fields. So get over your fricking self.

Yeah you are a fricking moron that doesn't know what he is talking about.
Pharm reps don't do stuff like this anymore. It's heavily, heavily regulated. They can't even freely hand out pens with the drug names on them now.

Do you need a Kleenex?

You do know that doctors also hate and have no control over 99% of what you just griped about, right?
1) They hate paperwork, but it's either required by law or is there to protect them from lawsuits by scumbags.
2) Long waiting times are CAUSED by patients who come in and try to fix everything in one day OR come in with emergent symptoms
3) They rush you out to see more people because reimbursements are down and that's how they make money. Thankfully healthcare law is about to change. Smell ya later, Barry.

Damn bro how often do you go to the doctor? Do you have AIDS?
I go once a year only because my insurance company makes me for a wellness exam. Other than that I haven't been to the doctor for anything else in 10 years.

Not always true, my son broke his foot. His Dr told me to order a boot off Amazon, cost $38. In the mean time, stay off of it till it comes in.

That's annoying as shite, but we wouldn't have to do this if everyone was honest about their insurance coverage and didn't try to avoid paying bills.

You don't think your doctors are smarter than the average joe off the street?

As a drug rep, let me just say
to this happy horseshite. I can't give a motherfricker an ink pen much less a ski trip.
And if I spend $3.00 on a coffee from Starbucks for a doc or nurse, I have to document it out the arse.
Some of your complaints are legit but this idea some of y'all have about the relationship between docs and drug companies is about 30 years out of date.

Avoid all of those problems and just don't go to the doctor until you are near death. I don't go and neither did my mom. She died at age 94, on no medications.

I know the Dr. penned a PSA telling everyone to bathe before going to see the Dr.
But you would've done better to write an open letter.

Wow, this is one of the more ignorant posts I've ever seen on this board. Truly a monument of wrong. Golf? Skiing trips from Merck? Wrong. Reading that, you must be one of the worst patients any of your doctors have. What a whiner.
This is why you have to sit and wait reading old SI. There's always one of you that has to go on and on. It's funny you don't realize you're the sort of patient that slows the flow at the clinic.

All of your complaints are valid.
Also the appointments are booked before the doctor even gets there and underbudgeted on time.
When one person needs extra time, the whole schedule gets pushed back.
