To further explain my experience within the health care system. By no means am I disparaging any one individual but the system as a whole. I must repeat a major factor or problem with health care is insurance companies.

To an extreme, a health care facility may choose to attribute your illness to COVID for example, when you are presented with a gunshot wound only because the reimbursement is better with a COVID diagnosis. Again to the extreme.

There was a time when you would enter the ER, an MD would see you, run some tests, and admit you if he/she deemed it necessary for you to get better.

Today, you enter an ER and at some point, the doctor must communicate with an individual who may not have the medical equivalent of the doctor, in order to decide what the diagnosis should be, what diagnostic tests should be done to support said diagnosis, and if the diagnosis meets criteria for greatest reimbursement from the insurance companies.

It is only my opinion that if a doctor were to heal all their patients, eventually they could run out of patients. More often than not, you are treated for your symptoms.

Medicines change, advances are made. Is it at all possible your medication that is working just fine is changed because some drug rep gave your doctor a better deal on a new med?

Just a few things to ponder.
