When the Doctor Becomes the Patient

It infuriates me that this has become the norm in patient care.  Perhaps not for some practices and providers, but certainly most.  Healthcare has become an expensive machine designed for maximum efficiency, yet provides inconsistent output and asks you to pay an absolute premium. If this were a car, would you buy it? Geez, I hope not.

This experience reinforced my beliefs about how I will treat my patients. A patient promise, if you will.
