If primary care doctors still worked for their patients instead of the third party bureaucracy they would take calls from the emergency room at 3am and admit their own patients to the hospital.  Health care is full of physicians and hospital administrators who like James Taggart in Atlas Shrugged are only now waking up to the horror of realizing that they have to exist in the very dysfunctional health care system they helped create.  If your a physician and not speaking out against whats going on then your part of the problem.  If your a primary care physician who wants to be part of the solution stop accepting third party payments and work for your patients in a direct primary care model.  When you start working for your patient again you will realize what you have known all along.....Quality healthcare is not derived from clinical protocols and cookie cutter medicine its derived from a relationship between the patient and their physician.]]></description></item><item><title>Christie Hopkins comments on Physician Income And The Curious Case Of Dr. Benjamin Brown</title><author>Christie Hopkins</author><pubDate>Tue, 23 Dec 2014 04:07:02 +0000</pubDate><link>http://freelancemd.com/blog/2011/2/20/physician-income-and-the-curious-case-of-dr-benjamin-brown.html#comments</link><guid isPermaLink="false">730626:8568982:comment/21152076</guid><description><![CDATA[Thanks for posting Dr. Brown&#39;s blog site.   The real wealth in medicine is the Calling to be a Physician, a professional who gives his or her best in the service of others.    Hospital Administrators, and politicians are tearing this down.   Labyrinthine regulations and needless paperwork take the joy out of medicine.  I am now a Clerk-Typist more than half the time., and not very good at it.    I think dedicated young people will still be called to the profession, but your excellent point about financial reimbursement should be heeded.  These young doctors and students need to move forward with their eyes wide open.<br/>.]]></description></item><item><title>Jack Sayer, MD comments on TruClinc - A telemedicine platform that is gaining acceptance with providers.</title><author>Jack Sayer, MD</author><pubDate>Wed, 10 Dec 2014 15:17:35 +0000</pubDate><link>http://freelancemd.com/blog/2014/6/26/truclinc-a-telemedicine-platform-that-is-gaining-acceptance.html#comments</link><guid isPermaLink="false">730626:8568982:comment/21138894</guid><description><![CDATA[Not sure a solution like Truclinic really makes sense given the integration necessary to gain inefficiencies claimed - sounds expensive....Their solution sounds like another healthcare IT boondoggle similar to what has taken us to were we are today which is starring into our lunch boxes.  I suggest major healthcare providers look to existing EHR platform providers who will inevitably develop telemedicine modules and keep things within existing systems (as bad as they may be) and not require another product for providers to grapple with.  Perhaps Freelance  MD and Trueclinic should sponsor a telemedicine innovation program in the Park City that teaches real disruption not just grafting onto of a heap of....(choose your own word)]]></description></item><item><title>George Thorry comments on Pam Wible's Using Youtube To Promote Ideal Medical Care</title><author>George Thorry</author><pubDate>Tue, 21 Oct 2014 17:17:44 +0000</pubDate><link>http://freelancemd.com/blog/2011/6/10/pam-wibles-using-youtube-to-promote-ideal-medical-care.html#comments</link><guid isPermaLink="false">730626:8568982:comment/21087075</guid><description><![CDATA[Dear Dr. Wible,<br/><br/>     I lived in Eugene for about ten wonderful years.

Before, we just couldn&#39;t get information, but now when we have internet, it&#39;s totally different. But still, medical societies bring that extra to the community. Building better relationships between us, the doctors and patients. Promote prevention and educate people. Internet contains a lot of medical information. Most of it is misleading, had incorrect data and event sponsored by industry. People need a verified source of information. Can this be a next thing for medical societies?<br/><br/>]]></description></item></channel></rss>
