Health care is following suite
That's why I left University Hospital after 27 years. Not that University is any different than any other hospital. It is profit driven. The insurance companies, as well as Medicare / Medicaid, are sitting in their ivory towers making medical decisions for us and they are clueless. The insurance companies are taking each illness and disease and make cookie cutter treatment decisions.
If anyone out there works for the medical insurance companies and you take offence, good! If you are a health care worker, you know what I mean.
So many corners are being cut. I was one tech running a blood bank in a 750 bed hospital and was written up for not working fast enough. I bit my tongue the last two years I worked there and f*%ked with management as often as I could.
