50 million new patients? More primary docs a must September 13th, 2009 By STEVE LeBLANC , Associated Press Writer (AP) -- When Dr. Robert Flaherty launched a private practice in 2001, he soon found himself cramming in as many patients as possible to make ends meet, leaving little time to discuss with them the steps they could take to prevent future health troubles....[read the rest at the link] Because the president has said over the years that he wants a single payor system, I know we will eventually have government run healthcare. But before we get to that point, wouldn't it make sense to first plant and grow enough doctors to replace the docs who don't want to work under a government run system? Posted on 09/13/09, 09:09 pm |

A single-payer system would be no more government controlled than the one we have now.

I totally agree, those interested in the field forthe sake of others and because he or she is gifted for that field. But, it's not just the doctors needed. we, the allied healthcare staff, are running around in this highly stressed field with no one speaking up for us. for every patient "packed in" there are orders written in which to clarify, assess for and act on as well as follow up on and monitor and chart for and cover all the liability steps required. Not to mention try to manage our own stress. Can I hear from anyone on that issue?
