Medicine is not what it used to be. 

These days, fewer people are choosing medical school and doctors seem to be “burning out” sooner.  In the good old days, one’s doctor might even have picked up the phone when patients called.  Back then, my general practitioner always personally knew the right specialist.  He sent me to my terrific obstetrician with the perfect name for his specialty:  Dr. Sexton

My current healthcare team tells me that their patients are coming from much farther away because they can’t get care near their homes.

It’s sad.
