National Doctors Day 2020

Monster Doctor    
Physicians and I have not been doing too well of late. I was seeing a PA who decided she wanted to place me on bleeding edge diabetes meds that had just been released in pill form.

She kept him-hawing around the price answering my "how much" questions with "your benefits will coordinate with their discount program" and it won't be much.

Now, when you get a $730 a month prescription after SPECIFICALLY saying how you want trusted, tried, and true GENERICS in an effort to CONTAIN COSTS there is a fundamental flaw in your relationship and it all smacks of kickback payola from some drug company IMHO.

Anyway, I tried the Veteran's Administration Hospital in Columbia as an alternative with high hopes and they are utterly incompetent allowing many of my drugs to lapse after episodes of pleading and I still don't have one of the medications of which I take three pills daily. Can you say "institutional license" ?

Needless to say we are done as well.

So now we come to National Doctors Day and we're supposed to celebrate those contributions of physicians to our lives and communities regardless of how shoddily they "treat" us.

It's about as bad as having to follow a physician to ten different practices because he keeps getting fired from every one he joins.

So no, won't be doing too much celebrating of National Doctors Day lest I load my pistol and try popping a few caps in some worthless medical professionals populating my area.

They want you to submit to their every whim and practice contrary to your needs and leave you in the lerch at every turn.
