Emergency Rooms still full


What concerns me when I close my eyes at night is a picture I cannot shake. Its an Emergency Room. In the Emergency Room I see my mother sick, dryed out standing glossy eyed with at least a thousand other patients...My mother may be gone but even now the Emergency Rooms and Doctors Offices are jam packed with Patients who think Doctors have all the answers. Patients who rush to the Emergency Rooms with Mounds of emotional pain that they keep trying to treat physically. I mean isn't that really the bottom line anyway for my mother and Michael Jackson?? Their emotional pain that never got treated that they never got relief from? A doctor should be able to discern the difference. He should be able to take enough time with his clients to be able to see what really needs to be treated. Lets face it they don't have all the answers or even half the answers. Most of the time you can only get a clear diagnosis if they get lucky or if you walk in with your severed limb in your hands. What makes me sick is how doctors have become predators pushing their meds. I take meds. I have issues with my health I am in no way saying do not see a doctor or see a good one...I am saying be involved in your healthcare. Know what you are taking and check on loved ones you suspect have gotten dragged in...Kennewick General is one hospital you dont want to be at ...in it you are no longer human no longer have rights...and obviously they don't handle health care straight up find out the ones in your area that do. How many people are going to die this year? How many people will die while a doctor hides behind their corpse? How many hospitals will look the other way when they know they are wrong because paying a dollar and admitting a mistake is far more important to them than the loss and dignity of anothers life?? How long will we tolerate physicians who work for us and get paid by us "PLAYING DOCTOR" when we will change and expect better for ourselves People are going to die this year at the hands of a doctor or hospital maybe both...I'll say it again they are packed with people wanting relief from physical pain who end up dead. Glossy eyed walking dead people not understanding the thing they are going to lose is their life...that what they are forfeiting in and effort to feel better is their health. Pills have consequences. Blind trust in a doctor who has not earned it is stupidity. We should have a national roster set up for Doctors to have their mugs posted on to warn future patients we should be able to see in a ten year time period just how many of their patients died what drugs were used, how their ailments were treated...as a consumer just like reading the label on a jar of peanut butter all the ingredients should be posted. We have the right to know.
