My cancer might be back—and I wonder if unnecessary radiation caused it in the first place
Carolyn Barber earned her BA from Princeton University, did her medical training at Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine, and completed her residency at Stanford University Medical Center. An emergency department physician for 25 years, she is also cofounder of a homeless work program, Wheels of Change, and a nationally published author. This article is adapted from her new book, Runaway Medicine: What You Don’t Know May Kill You, which was recently Amazon’s top-ranked bestseller in health care administration.
*I wholeheartedly agree with her. I think "the mission of U.S. health care system is profit,
nothing else". It is barely maintaining its decency because of good honest doctors and nurses.
It is too much, too expensive, and awfully inefficient with occasional discoveries and developments.
Unfortunately, it may be a representation of present-day America. The defense industry, Pentagon, and
high tech industry for social media are also striving for profits without thinking about its consequences.
Politics do its best to take the power neglecting America's future.

Every American is supposed to have a primary care physician.
It meant to be "my doctor". My doctor works only in day time
of week days though I get sick 24/7. Whenever I call my doctor's
office, the machine answers and plays the recording"go to emergency
room if it's an emergency". Even if it is a day time my doctor hardly
comes to the phone. How the hell I know if it's an emergency.
For years I did not have any choice but to go to ER if I wanted to be
taken care of immediately because my doctor would not see me if I
do not have an appointment. Consequently ER was overwhelmed by
nonemergent patients and the cost of care became too expensive.
Nowadays urgent care facilities are propping up. I am not sure what
the purpose of the primary care physician. It seems to me that all she or
he does is the management of chronic diseases. However it is interrupted
during off hours by physicians in urgent care or ER doctors.
Health care meant to be "community care". There were community hospitals
and doctors for the people who live in the community. It is all gone. Hospitals
are part of nation wide chains and doctors belong to HMO's. If I call my doctor,
someone who belong to HMO answers and then the phone call is directed to
my doctor's office. Every time I have to wait for 10 to 15 minutes.
Small family owned farms could not survive and very few left. Most of farms
are huge corporate farms. There are no mom and pop drug stores. Every drug
store belong to nation wide chains. The bigger it is the more the profit is.
The big corporations fool the public by saying "it cost less so it is cheaper".
The health care became the victim of the profit driven corporations, too.

Medical Practice, aimed at making more income...
Such is more true in California than in any other place in the U.S.
They are least interested in their patient's well-being but more interested in filling up their pockets.
After having lived in California for about 15 years, I have come to this conclusion.
In other states, it may be a little better but not much.
Medical care has changed a lot since I left it.
