I’m a physician
This is all a sham
Today I saw 160 patients. Urgent Care
No one had anything more than a cold
Same thing, different year.
All a sham

It used to be nurses and doctors spent time at the bedside evaluating the patient, getting a decent history, exam, etc.. Now go to the hospital wards and they are on the fucking computers nearly the entire time.
And check out what they put in the computers. I was admitted about 6 times 2019-2020 (before covid). They never asked me but put false statements in my admission and discharge summaries. Such as never married (was married twice), lives with children (I live alone) 20/20 vision (I wear bifocals or 1 pr glasses to read, another pair to drive), Activities of daily living normal (I'm handicapped), wrong PCP and pharmacy listed. They had listed meds I never took. I found this in the discharge summary they wanted me to sign. Oh how pissed off the nurse was when she had to go back to the computer to print out a corrected report. She literally started yelling at me so in the same tone and volume I said We could yell back and forth so what does that accomplish. She said I'm so frustrated. I said You're frustrated? I'm the one who is sick.
Yes/ I’m ashamed of how the hospital has failed
