171. Not a conservative

First of all I am not a conservative!! Just tired of healthcare providers being accused of making to much money! If you want to bitch about people making to much money then bitch about the actors/actresses, any professional athlete, many CEOs and many politicians in DC including the President. And I'm sure you will degrade me because I put the president in there.

And I don't mind new competition at all. Drives me to stay on top of my own knowledge and keep up to date on current technology.

And you are so clueless on the amount of knowledge a family practice doctor needs to know. They manage many complex health needs of
their patients. That includes them managing them when they are in the hospital when the hospital doesn't have a hospitalist. I love it when someone that has never worked in healthcare or not educated in healthcare try to dictate healthcare providers practice. And there are reasons why they have standards to get into medical school and a rigorous training standard and they should not be lowered so more unqualified people can put MD or DO behind their name.

As for treating patient fairly. I treat all my patients the same. I give the best care I can in and out of the OR. It wouldn't matter if it was the president, someone less fortunate or whether they have insurance or not!!!!
