TO BE HONEST, SOME OF YOU MAY NOT. IN WHICH CASE YOU PROBABLY ARE NOT READING THIS.
FOR MY PATIENTS, THIS WILL ALLOW THEM TO BETTER UNDERSTAND MY PHILOSOPHY OF HEALTH CARE AND TO ALLOW THEM TO BETTER COMPREHEND WHY I MAKE THE DECISIONS THAT I DO IN REGARDS TO PATIENT CARE AS WELL AS OTHER MORE PERIPHERAL ISSUES SUCH AS INSURANCE AND OFFICE POLICIES.
FOR INTERESTED CIVILIANS, THIS WILL LEND INSIGHT INTO WHY SOME DOCTORS MAKE THE CHOICES THEY DO IN REGARDS TO RUNNING A PRACTICE IN A CERTAIN MANNER.
IT WILL OCCASIONALLY DRIFT INTO A TANGENT ON WHY THINGS ARE THE WAY THEY ARE AND WHAT CAN OR SHOULD BE DONE TO CHANGE THEM.
SOME OF YOU WILL AGREE WITH MY THOUGHTS. SOME WILL NOT. I AM NOT PARTICULARLY INTERESTED IN USING THIS FORUM AS A VEHICLE FOR DEBATING, BUT PRIMARILY TO OFFER AN OPINION THAT IS DIFFERENT THAN THAT WHICH ONE ROUTINELY GETS FROM THE MASS MEDIA AND LARGE HEALTH CARE INTERESTS RANGING FROM THE NATIONAL MEDIA TO THE LOCAL HOSPITAL ADMINISTRATION AND NEWSPAPER.
THIS FORMAT WILL ALLOW ME TO EXPAND UPON THOUGHTS INITIALLY PUBLISHED IN THE NEW CASTLE COURIER TIMES NEWSPAPER. IT WILL ALLOW ME TO GO INTO GREATER DETAIL IN DEALING WITH A VARIETY OF HEALTH CARE ISSUES.
THE OPINIONS EXPRESSED HEREIN OR SOLELY THOSE OF MYSELF AND ARE DECIDEDLY UN-POLITICALLY CORRECT AT TIMES.
LET THE READER BEWARE.
