The Specialist M.D.

Remember the next time someone says I have a good  Doctor I am fine. But in todays world he does not go to the hospitals in the USA. If you and your family want to negotiate the treacherous waters of our healthcare maze than you need to know a family "specialist"!  These are the folks who actually take care of sick people.If you go to the ER expect  a 4 to 6 hour ordeal and than if you are admitted you will be cared for by a hospitalist , who is an M.D. who can be in many cases the least trained physician and one who is on a career path to somewhere else.  After a brief stay you are likely to be discharged with  a few tests , a prescription and a phone number for follow up! Here is my TIP FOR THE DAY  get to know any medical specialist, that includes all surgeons of any type and all medical folks such as a cardiologist, neurologist, pulmonologist, nephrologist  or any GIST you know! These folks can expedite your testing , your admission, your treatment everything and can compress weeks into days and even hours. Also always remember as in business its the relationships and the people not the building or facility that renders the care! The Movie Doc
