Ray, I have to agree with you whole heartily. I work for a physican that

schedules 35 patients in a 4 hour slot. 80% of those are told to return for

follow up visits in a few weeks or months. While checking patients in and

asking how they are doing they often say great I feel so much better. Then I

ask why are you here to see the doc today? They reply I dont know he wanted

me to come back in after 2 weeks.

It is very disheartning. I am very disapointed in the medical field. I

entered this career 7 yrs ago. What an eye opener it has been.
