Patient
This is the guy who takes care of your heart. He too is feeling the bit of the Medicare Change bill. Patients equal less money than they used to. I feel bad for the staff at Medical offices. They will have 'Big Brother' watching and timing. The personality of the office has to change to make more money. Dr. Edlin is a great heart doctor but can make you feel like you are not in the room. His mind is very fast and I have to say 'what does that mean'. You only get so many of those in a 10 minute visit. My EKG was taken but not explained to me. Compared to previous years. I don't want to 'feel like a number'. I hope all offices can keep treating patients as people. Remember you are dealing with people with illnesses that hurt. We are not a broken machine.
