Replying to Rick Coker

The essence of health care success, to me, is the development of trust- from both the patient and from the physician/dentist/provider. And of course that trust needs to be earned within some sort of relationship! If a person comes to me in a deeply distrustful state, I really can’t be of much use to them!

Of course, but how many lone practitioners do you know in medicine anymore. Group practice and corporate hospital systems tends to promote profit over fostering relationships with patients. I have heard this complaint from my long time OB as well as MD friends.

This is true my oldest son has many medical problems. It is hard to find Doctors that can be trusted and listen to him as he knows himself well. It seems that that most think that a medication will cure everything.

I’m old enough to remember when my PCP had a name, currently my PCP is a clinic.
