I am the American Medical System.
Yes, indeed I am!
************
If the money is there
I’ll fill you full of drugs
bill your insurance providers
give you the shock of your life!
If you dare protest to much
well, I may even
strap you to a chair!
How nice!
************
Our motto is
“First, Do No Harm”
you see!
Not, first, maybe, do some good!
Are you kidding me!
************
If the money is not there,
we may be obligated
to help, you see.
But only
as long
as legally
can be!
So we
give you prescriptions
and bid you ado!
Now look out for yourself
and good luck to you!
************
So if you fail to do
as I prescribed!
You may
wind up
on the street
where you barely survive!
You beg, steal or use sorrow
to get food, wine
to survive till tomorrow!
You sleep on benches
boxes
even warm vents!
The store keepers
call the police
who tell you
‘move off’ that vent.
You eat in soup kitchen’s
at the mercy
of the Goody Good few!
They even play songs!
How nice of them to do!
************
But eventually
you do something
and it’s back
to the medical hive!
Round and round it goes
until you get sicker
commit suicide
or
better yet
die!
***********
All because
they first do no harm.
No! No!
Really because
they first do little good!
What a charm!
************
Yes!
There is no profit
in cures and solutions!
Only in
treatments
procedures
and
modern potions!
************
And yes,
don’t forget
those costly legal solutions.
************
So
stay alert
stay healthy
beware!
Please,
for your own safety
do take care.
************
Yes!
Run For Your Life!
Again beware!!!
Especially,
if Heaven help you
the money is not there!

Just My Humble Opinion:
Doctors put drugs of which they know little into bodies of which they know less for diseases of which they know nothing at all.
Voltaire
To me, Doctor’s seem to get most of their knowledge about new drugs from those full-figure female Pharma reps that frequent their offices on a regular basis. They are supposedly providing real knowledge about the drugs they push. But in reality is it just thoughts of ‘carnal knowledge?’
I have the honor of having been ‘fired’ by two doctor’s during visits!
Yes! “You are no longer my patient,” they said!
I wonder why?
Wasn’t this once a Seinfeld episode?

My wife fell, hit her head and was taken to emergency room. She was there for about 4 hours saw a couple of nurses and a doctor that mainly talked to one of the nurses. She also left for three tests and returned an hour later and was then released.
Total cost…over 💲20,000.

Same for my dad before he died. He spent about five days at the hospital. Doctor only checked on him twice- for a couple minutes. I never even saw him once, only my mom and the others who visited. Yet, we paid the a-hole a shitload of cash.

Should I see a doctor!?
It was about taking Lithium for a month and being in and out of consciousness for four days and almost going to see my maker! Daffy Duck that is!

It is a harsh truth…
Here, there are public hospitals, but they’re not entirely free. Besides, they have unclean equipment, and you can basically get another sickness just from waiting. Health insurance could get you so far; it’s still very very expensive. The real question: where do our taxes go?

I fear, maybe, the taxes go mainly to the bureaucrats, health company sewer rats, Big Pharma and the wealthy few!
The leading cause of death in America is not necessarily cancer or heart disease. It may be the health care lsystem itself. Unsanitary hospital conditions; doctor misdiagnosis; unnecessary or botched operations; overprescribed and toxic drugs; an emphasis on treatments and procedures instead of finding cures; and much more.

Health care is a joke anymore…all a lot of the medical profession want to help is themselves. I’m lucky to have a doctor that doesn’t prescribe a pill or send you to the hospital unless it’s absolutely necessary. My biggest gripe is with insurance companies…you gotta have it, but they charge way too much and don’t want to cover much.
