The greatest problem we face is the $$ benefit for hospitals and doctors from illness and disease. Doctors/hospitals don't benefit from health and wellness so they don't support that. Big Pharma has coupled with the Rockefeller medical establishment to extract maximum $$ from people with very little inclination to "do no harm." The takeover of medical care includes the intermediary HMO's and PPO's to add another layer of control. We have been betrayed by this system to the point of death. The sooner you opt out of your dependence on this corrupt medical system the healthier you and your family will be. Knowledge is Power and Power is Freedom...
We used to have relationships directly with Doctors or with small groups of Doctors in a single dedicated office. Hospitals were the smallest part of healthcare. When I was a kid, Doctors visits were in a small office about 5 miles from the nearest hospital.
Then all the Doctors sold out, sold their practices to private equity, and took positions as staff doctors inside giant for profit institutions. Hospitals and pharmacists bought a bunch of legislation and here we all are.
Up until I was 5 or 6 years old, (mid 1950's) our pediatrician would make house calls. Imagine that a doctor coming to your house for people being sick. Think they would go back to those days?
I remember house calls also. They were not onerously expensive, either. Those days won't be within living memory much longer; it's important that the truth not be lost of how much better, more humane, and less corrupt the medical profession was. People tend to think that how things are now is just how they have to be.
Yes, if you needed an operation it didn't bankrupt you, no one had health insurance and most families only had one income.
Sad, but so true.
I remember those days growing up in the 50's-60's...but you rarely went to the doctor...you got plenty of physical activity and sunshine and you were rarely sick...much has changed...
We were also allowed to get dirty while playing. That's why we had play clothes and good clothes.
We were "grounding" when we played outside barefoot and we'd never heard of it!
Exactly ... follow the money and very few care about healing. The Doctors and nurses who did were fired.💔
