Yes!!! Thank you for adding your experiences as well. This is survival of current system 101. I had no idea until we experienced it. Our son was even placed on palliative care without our permission or discussion with him. The death panels may not be official but I have noticed a push toward less expensive measures versus those that produce better outcomes in the last few years especially. The most frightening moment for us was being released from the hospital under protest and being told not to go to the ER unless he lost consciousness. This was after a complicated surgery. Had I obeyed he would have certainly died instead I took him to the nearest ER and he was life flighted. That hospitalist was either incredibly incompetent or intentionally placing his life at risk because insurance gave her our marching orders and refused to pay for the test the hospitalist the week before requested.
Agree about doctors and specialty but it all boils down to people. Some doctors only learn from books and are driven by their egos and what is easiest. Others are selfless, inquisitive, constantly learning. I find those that are hospitalists don't 'go that extra mile' - like how nurses do travel nursing and are not invested.... driven by money, they don't strive for excellence (or maybe proper term would be they are not as engaged) the same way doctors or nurses do that are hired by the organization.
Agreed. We have horrible medical staff but we have also encountered incredible individuals fighting for my son’s life in a system designed to end him because he is too expensive to live. I would say more often than not the nurses care more. Doctor’s are a smaller percentage of the genuinely dedicated but those that are - they are a force of nature. We have even had a few experts with terrible bedside and absolute jack wagons but they were determined to do the right thing as well as unbroken by the system. They are worth their weight in Gold and often provided us a window others could not. Sadly the brilliant AND compassionate are downtrodden by the system they work in and we lose them to other pursuits. We have to fix this mess for everyone involved and reward the true healers instead of bind their hands
Well said. Agree, it's amazing to meet the individuals that are dedicated, determined sincere, compassionate and committed to the patient.
