So, I am working at a private family practice clinic right now, and I have to tell you, it has been quite an eye opener. I realized that this whole medicine thing is just a racket... as far as I can tell, it is about 90% money and 9.99999 % politics/power. If you look at the way the system works right now, pretty much everyone in America gives a big chunk of money to the insurance companies. Now, they use that money to pay the doctors. Well, they are greedy and want to keep as much of the money as they can for themselves... on the other end of that rope are the greedy doctors who want that money for themselves. As if that weren't bad enough... lawyers have figured out what's going on here, and now they want a piece of the action... and who can blame them. We are talking about probably the largest chuck of money on the planet, and it is up for grabs. I used to think that doctors were some how the "better" people and they were just getting screwed by the evil insurance companies and lawyers... clearly I was wrong. Now, this might be an over generalization since I am sure not all doctors are pure greed, and there are in fact legitimate lawsuits out there. But when you talk about the vast majority of people and situations... it's all about politics/greed/power (as if those were three separate things)
Alright... time for bed

Well, it has been a long time since I last posted. I figure it is about time for me to start this shit up again. I am currently in the middle of my Family Practice rotation. All that means is that I do whatever your family doc does when you go bitch to him about your headache, or when you think a mole is skin cancer. At any rate, I have to drive 1hr each way to get to this place which sucks ass since most other people in my class get to stay near campus... speaking of which, I am going to be late if I don't get out of here soon...later
