More Doctors versus Quality of Care
-
11/6/2013
I am a middle-aged man who has lived most of his life in San Francisco. I have seen all the changes-good, bad and in-between-and the accompanying increase in population. There are now more Doctors than ever before, in all types of specialties. But DO NOT think for that reason you will be getting good health care. In my opinion, we have some of the worst outcomes for various procedures in the Northern Calif. area. I have seen studies on this. In addition, we are in the "most expensive" category in the Nation for these procedures. It seems to me that the Doctors in the San Francisco Bay Area, assurred of a continuing supply of patients due to the over-population density of the region, feel that they can demand top-dollar for the work that they do, no matter the quality. There will always be more "sheep" to be "sheared". It's the old adage: the more of something you have or create, the worse the quality. This is my opinion. It has been my experience. Other residents of this area may disagree, of course. I would expect that all medical transactions are personal and confidential, and may differ from mine. However, I wanted to inform prospective residents of my thoughts based upon my medical situations. Thank you
