Does anyone actually have a decent doctor?

It seems like they don’t exist anymore.
I had one, he was a general practisioner who died of very old age. I used to get walking pneumonia and couldn't afford a doctor so he would treat me with antibiotics that I couldn't get back then from any fish store or online. My payments was in the form of him presenting a historical query, and I would get him a primary text translation on that subject, the best in the field. Stuff nobody else in my area would know about. Last thing I got him was a record of a reenactment of the Lincoln Douglas Debates, because he said he really wished he could go back in time and hear them debate. He then had a stroke, lost the ability to communicate. I got him the record but the home he practiced out of (he was on the board of the home) didn't have record players, so I had to go to a radio station to have it converted over to cassett.

Last bit of entertainment he had. Family had no idea who I was when I showed up at the funeral viewing, said I was his final patient and they didn't believe me due to my age. Then I mentioned the record and they were blown away it was me.

i did have one doctor i liked. she noticed my ed when literally no one else did. nothing came of it though since i brushed it off

but going to the doctor was way too expensive for not getting any results so several hundred dollars later i stopped going

my doctor is great, the old fashioned friendly welcoming type, he puts you at ease which is what you want, i'm lucky, because i know they're a rare breed now.
I'm currently struggling with some health issues and I swear none of the doctors listen to me. I feel like their guinea pig.

You're are just a pay check. If you were paying cash or credit without health insurance. You would get 1000% better care.

I seen that first hand. Insurance companies pay to keep you sick to make money off with a partnership with pharmaceutical companies
We don't have the privilege of seeing the same doctor anymore, but all the ones that I've seen have been decent.

My GP is pretty good. It’s just a bit of a challenge getting an appointment.

There's 2 (female) doctors in the GP practice I'm registered with - they are both good.

Not since the 1990s, I haven't seen or been to a regular doctor since.
Its shame that medical care is horrible in America and I'm sure other parts of the world as well. You go to one doctor and that's all then you end up going to another and it seems like we never get the best of care all we can do is wish the best.

Mine spends about 5 minutes with me then on the the next patient. Yet the optometrist I just went to was very kind which I liked. Dentist is that way too.

It’s hard to get anything good anymore. Including mechanics, carpenters,electricians. Luckily, I do pretty much everything myself.

My current doctor really cares however raised her prices so high shes more expensive than my heart specialist.
I have one. He´s a very decent man, and a competent one. Not a very common mix among doctors.

I used to have a very good doctor but he retired. The man who replaced him isn't as good.

Mine's great. But that might be because she's an ex of mine

I like mine. She’s helped me deal with my diabetes, anytime classes or info comes up she reaches out and lets me know. I’ve never had a doctor that proactive.
