I am from India.. where we get healthcare in a jiffy. Its just impossible to see how doctors treat patients… I go to a doctor regarding a abscess. I do this after being treated like shit by doctors here who are ignorant and don’t give a damn about patients. So.. the first walkin clinic I go to.. The doctor looks at it and does nothing.. tells me it will go away.. after a couple of weeks, I go to another walkin clinic. this doctor is aggressive in treatment, I thought so.. he got my blood work done and put on very high outdated antibiotics for 10 days.. nothing happens and my abscess is oozing pus. I go back to him and he puts me on the next stronger antibiotics.. and tell me If this does not work I have to see a infectious disease specialist. So, I ask him if I can see him and he is like, you can see any doctor here. I get pissed.. Why the fuck, can’t we go to one doctor so that he is able to carry the treatment through. So finally – I go to a third doctor.. he openly tells me he has not seen anything like this and will refer me to a surgeon. I am waiting now for about 2 months for a referral and NOTHING.. How do people even live here beats me. Finally, I look up and see that my abscess is nothing but a ingrown hair and is now almost healed.. If this were a serious issue – how the hell in the world, can I expect my best interests be taken care of by the stupid healthcare system here.. Beats me… —A pissed person

Did you file a complaint with the medical board on the outdated antibiotics especially? If not, b.s. posting.
You went through this histrionics for an ingrown hair?
Indian H.M.O.s – They Treat You Like Cattle!
You should have looked on You Tube and took care of that yourself.
You mean the clip where the woman lances her husband’s carbuncle and forces about 3 pints of cottage cheese out of it.
Eeeeeuuuuurrrrgggghhhhhhhhhhhhhh >: 0
You can always go back to India. No one is stopping you. Oh BTW with the caste system in India, I very much doubt the beggar and the poor are treated in a jiffy. Yeah our system sucks mainly between waste, the union and management, not to mention the cost but it is our system.
Looks like the treatment worked… it healed!
Ivan: seen It-doubley gross!!
LOL. Mr. M. At least she wore dish-washing gloves when she was poking around inside it.
I wonder how long he lived, after.
No, wait. You’re bragging about health care in India?
I’m guessing our med systems are vastly different.
We had a trainee in a few years ago for a summer and he wanted to make an appointment to the doctor to get a prescription for some throat lozenges.
I pointed to the convenience store across the street and told him to get some himself.
He seemed quite taken aback that they were acquired so easily…
as if we should all be high on sizzurp or something with our over the counter meds.
Y’know, it’s not that hard to sterilize a needle and pop an abscess. Just spray some hydrogen peroxide on it and a bit of polysporin and a bandage and bam. done.
At least the chances of being gang-raped, murdered and hung from a tree while you wait around are lower here.
that’s probly cause all the docs from here, went back home, just sayin’.
Hydrogen peroxide is dangerous to have in your home. A friend of mine took a course to become a CCA and the RN who gave the course said if you have peroxide in your home to throw it out. Something about the bubbles it creates. They can be deadly bubbles if they travel into your blood stream.
Yours truly.
Nice racist, redneck comment, LS. Lemme guess, it’s not racist when YOU say it, right?
Wheels… ANY bubbles in your bloodstream are deadly.
Definitely supposed to be a closed circuit.
