The infamous “they” strikes again. I’ve had my share of interactions with younger medical caregivers and maybe I’ve been fortunate, but the large percentage of them have been caring, concerned professionals who take the time to listen and respond to questions. While the realities of modern day medical care economics doesn’t give the the luxury of spending as much time as was the case when I was growing up, they are frequently more accessible via telemedicine and at least in my experience, respond to questions on a timely basis (both via phone or text). Sure, I ‘ve had some who are curt and have zero social skills but I’m sometimes willing to put up with their personalities for the quality of care they offer. Also, the front-office staff of most medical offices needs improvement but a lot of the problem stems from the crazy overlay of government and insurance requirements. Yes, the world of medical care has changed, but so has nearly everything else.
