Yup, if they start today, they will have a whole new batch of doctors
in 2018.
So, there's no one in the medical schools right now? I don't see any stats
that show there will be a shortage.
It takes me a couple weeks to get into my primary care doctor now.
They say if you need an appointment earlier go to the emergency room.
It is apparent there are more patients than the doctors can handle.
If you need to see a specialist, you can probably get in right away.
The GPs are in shorter supply. The money is in specialization.
Several friends who are doctors, some GPs others specialists. The GPs
feel like superior humans because they're on the front lines foregoing
the big pay outs, the specialists think they're smart 'cause they're
hauling down the big bucks and don't have to see the cattle call of
patients.
I just found a Harvard-educated GP, recommended by a friend. Seems
very personable and thorough. Will be getting my first colonoscopy
soon. Oh boy!
