I've heard a rumor to the effect that only one doctor reviews the day clinic medical reports. Surely this isn't true. It would be unfair, both to the other doctor and to his patients. This needs to be squashed.
My family and I have supported the various medical organizations here since the 1930s. Recently and with utmost reluctance, I made my very first official complaint to the hospital when a situation became intolerable.
It is well known that I deplore medical personnel's heavy, on-site involvement in politics. It is out of place and inappropriate. I have never allowed my politics to interfere with personal, religious, or professional relationships. I don't expect most other people to be capable of that separation, but I do expect the management of the various organizations to exercise some ethical control over their employees' extra-curricular activities while on the job, This includes not only the medical complex, but the school district, and various churches.
In September, shortly after I made my complaint at the medical complex, after decades of every-six-months checkups, my doctor effectively dismissed me.
Possibly this is the result of Obamacare, which went into effect in January, but it's a suspicious coincidence coming so immediately on the heels of my complaint in August..
I realize Obamacare is severely restricting healthcare for older people, and if an organization isn't capable or willing to obtain waivers, care can be disapproved and unpaid. Coincidentally, none of my other health care providers seem to have a problem with my age.
So here's the question: is it going to be the medical complex's policy to dismiss all patients over a certain age, or am I just special?
9. Who is so proud of the fact that he doesn't cooperate with the local newspaper that he has the gall to brag about it?
