i was on a hike sat am with a volunteer at our local va. he told me the doctors stay until last person is checked that day. he said they have a strong relationship with penn. the drs come down , i assume interns and they often stay until 8pm at night. when he needs to see a dr. i think he was talking about center city for eye exam. he told me he just walks in and asks about canceled appointments or no show and says he will just wait. To get on a schedule may take a few months. However, the majority of appointments scheduled are no show. the other item they run into is care for problems, they show up drunk or high and cannot give them medications. my friend is a vietnam vet. wounded over there. he helps those coming from iraq, afgan experiences. he has been able to get them out on several of our hikes to help them adjust.

Are their respiratory tech's low quality too, pubo? Would your hospital employ a health professional who is a lifelong user of hallucinatory drugs?

Pubo, when I lived in S. Cal., I got new insurance and had to get a new doctor (way before Obamacare!). I ended up with an older doc, the only one on the list currently taking new patients. Since I mainly just needed someone to write my prescriptions, that was fine with me. He had a lot of evangelical christian literature in his waiting room. Oddly, he kept offering to write me prescriptions for anything I wanted. It seemed fishy to me, so I didn't take him up on the offer. I was surfing the cable, and I saw my doctor on a public access channel. He was preaching that the world was going to end on a specific near date. Suddenly, it was all clear, why he was offering me any drug I wanted, but I had doubts about the CARE he was providing to a sinner he believed wasn't going to be around long.
