I have to say after having considered LHS for our "insurance", I'm happy with our decision to move our domicile to Florida to be on a Blue Cross nation-wide PPO. "Hypocritical" doctors can be anywhere - you never know. But I hope none of us come across one any time soon.Cheryl Goldsteinhttp://landmarkadventures.netnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7416354527052845038.post-30218471476654560722017-12-07T13:06:20.597-06:002017-12-07T13:06:20.597-06:00Crazy!

We were shocked young man! And yes medical profession, and treatments have changed since I am sorry to say since Obama was in office. My PCP now spends more time on the computer now instead of discussing my health. he even acknowledges that fact through it all we are so happy you are still “alive and kicking”per Popo.

It’s important other people know the details and thank you very much for opening up. I do want to share that many people in my family are medical practitioners and according to them there has absolutely been a shift in the way those jobs are viewed. That being said there are still good providers out there and good for Les for not letting that bad apple touch him. As far as referring to you as a charity case I highly recommend you register a formal complaint t with the hospital. The surgeons can’t make money if they don’t have access to hospital facilities and trust me they will take that seriously. You can also file a formal complaint with the AMA. Again this is a highly regulated industry and getting poor reviews is a very big deal. If enough people complain a physician can lose their license. <br />So glad physically you are ok and so sorry you had to go through thisTracyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05036559705232137319noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7416354527052845038.post-18935836096444054742017-12-06T21:23:26.200-06:002017-12-06T21:23:26.200-06:00WTH!!!
