Now a days it is extremely difficult to find a good doctor, personally I have been through six family doctors in the past year and a half. No it is not because I dislike doctors, it is because I have not found a doctor until just recently, who I believe cares about my health.

Recently I have been sick and I visited three different Doctor offices in an attempt to get better. I encountered the same problem with all of the medical walk in offices that i have visited and I am sure that there are others out there who have come across this very same issue.

To me it seems as though clinics are more worried about the number of patients that they can book in for one day, than they are about actually solving whatever medical issues their patients may be experiencing.

Most doctors have to rush through their patient exams just to make sure that they are able to make all of their appointments. This really upsets me because it seems to me that this creates more problems than it solves.

Because these doctors have such a time issue regarding their appointments, I have noticed them rushing through the exams. This can easily lead to problems of misdiagnosis, by not taking the time to properly examine the symptoms, they may fail to find the real issue.

I honestly believe that most of the doctors we have employed today, care more about the money they can make, then they do about the patients they can help. I think that this is extremely apparent and taking a visit to your local walk in medical clinic may prove my point to you as well. Do your own research and I look forward to reading your articles.
