Best health care system in the world my fuckin ass!

[cynatnite]

92. You don't think that we in the health care have to deal the hand we're dealt with?

We have a heavy patient load as do the doctors. Hospitals can't keep many specialists on staff at the hospital 24/7. They have their own practices to see to. They are in huge demand.

Hospitals have differing needs so cafeterias operate at different times. Sometimes it's more of a matter of necessity because of expense.

This is not "institutional malaise".

This is a system that is overburdened and underfunded.

In this system that we're working in, we are doing the best we can with what we have. We are limited by lack of funds, regulations, doctor's orders, insurance companies as well as family and patient demands.

It's a lot to contend with, but most everyone I know in the health care industry perform above and beyond in very difficult situations.

I've spent my life in the health care industry and despite how you and others view us, I will remain within it because I believe in helping people.
