Holy Moses!!!! Yikes!

Don't get me started with doctors. I see way too many now as it is (and I'm seriously thinking about changing my nephrology team).

It's bad enough that there is a mass exodus here in PA because of high malpractice insurance costs. Also, it's well known that if you don't have private insurance, that you get treated like a second class citizen (and damn, I'm already treated like that b/c of who I am! Sheesh!! :p ). On Medicaid? Good luck in getting some respect. I was hospitalized in 2002, and that experience was so lousy. Sure it might have been the staff, but I strongly believe that Medicaid patients get the short end of the stick when it comes to patient care.
