AMA Connect for Android

When doctors used to make house calls, they were awesome and communities used to buy them houses and not tax them etc. That was a great love between the public and physicians. Then, sometime in the 50s, it was discovered that the largest amount of professional people, dying from heart attacks, was those doctors. Do you stress of caring so much, dealing with insurance companies, making appointments, and everything, was too much for many doctors that tried to do it all by themselves. Another problem was the Hippocratic oath that foreign doctors said was against their religion. Clinics became the solution and doctors were taught more about business in college. Skipping I half a half a century ahead: [_] I quit going to one doctor, as an example here, who decided that if you wanted to see him, you’d have to pay a yearly $1000 membership fee. [_] No matter what doctor I go to, if we take longer than 15 minutes, somebody will come in and remind him that other people are waiting. [_] Universities increase the difficulty of exams for Medical students because of the fear of over flooding the field with too many doctors and reducing their ability to charge a, “reasonable” fee. ———-Summary =Concern for profit exceeded concern for patients. I’d rather see a nurse who is talk more about concern than profit today. ———-Some suggestions for solutions: [_]An oath can be taken without religious implications, like an affidavit, under the penalties of perjury, to uphold the ethics established for the medical practice, as before in the United States. [_] Some mobile doctors offices have been driven to peoples homes to care for them in their homes. It was successful but not supported. Our technology has now, with GPS, etc., more capable of doing this and should be encouraged. [_] Billing can I’ll be done by people working from home. Virtual visits through those handling billing could be very helpful. —— I am sure that the AMA can rise to the level it was before, I encouraged them to catch up. This is, “The tip of the iceberg”. I didn’t read this anywhere, I lived it.I’d like to speak to somebody about that but I can’t leave my telephone number on the Internet. I can leave my mailing address: TOM ILSLEY JR 117 EAST 18th STREET 240 OWENSBORO, KY 42303 - 3752 Respectfully yours, “TOM”

I give the lowest possible review due to AMA going woke.

Great way to learn more about AMA’s advocacy efforts and get news and updates.

Every app needs one of these. The AMA Connect app is no exception. FAQs are a distant second-best.
