Thread: Have you been on the MEDICAL MERRY-GO-ROUND?

We need to start insisting on good information, on options, checking out our care providers and not being afraid to fire them when they aren't doing the job. If we demanded as much from our doc as from our mechanics we just might be in better shape. They have no trouble saying. "well, you didn't check the oil or get it changed regularly and you blew it" WE have no trouble saying, "you didn't do what I paid you to do".

Amen. To all of that.
