This kind of stuff is the downfall of our way of life. People gradually lose their responsibility for their own lives and well being. It has been happening since the 60's, heck probably since before then. I guess I don't know when this all started. I was born in '58. I cannot remember a time in my life where I did not have the idea that the goverment would take care of me if all else failed. ( lost this idea a long time ago, I am remembering back to when I was a kid) I do not think my parents grew up with this idea.
I would tell them to F off, there are other doctors. I really have less and less patience for this crap as I grow older, and ironically enough will soon start needing doctors to continue aging. I have not seen a doctor since I left Florida 8 years ago. And that time was to get an ear cleaned out as it was stopped up. I bet I have not seen a doctor 3 times in 20 years now.
