I share your frustrations with Chatbots on the phone so much.
Weeks ago I was dealing with chest pain/heart pain. I ended up trying to call a bunch of clinics/doctors to try to get a recommendation of where to go. Everywhere I called, they would have a spiel about covid that would last 1/2 minutes. It would make me livid and my pain worse.
I understand that thats partly my fault for being impatient. But it felt so hard to just reach a doctor/nurse or anyone to talk to at the time.
- sophacles 5y agoI see you made the mistake of thinking that the healthcare system has anything to do with your wellness. Common mistake, but still a mistake. The healthcare system is just another machine to shovel money into a select group of peoples pocket, any doctoring they choose to provide is just a consequence of the marketing budget (gotta keep those word-of-mouth numbers up!).
- wara23arish 5y agoYeah, Im really surprised by how inefficient everything here is. Also how shady the practices are, no one warns you as an immigrant that you should avoid hospitals at all cost unless you’re almost sure you’re gonna die. I come from a 3rd world middle eastern county. We somehow have a life expectancy higher than the US. And over there you pretty much just deal with the doctors straightforward. I think part of the problem is there isn’t enough doctors in the US to begin with
