The medical profession has been turned upside down and I don't want to PARF this thread as to why.

My regular GP is a friend and great doctor I liked. He basically was filling out endless paperwork and at the end of the year, he was making very little money for 12 hour days and on call so often. He finally just found a job at a very large national company based in Oklahoma City, as a company health provider. The employees can use him and he works normal business hours, and just gets a paycheck. He has a staff to fill out the endless paperwork.

I had to find a new internist for my health needs. I too am pretty healthy, and I see him once per year for blood draw and my annual physical. During the worst of the China flu pandemic we did one appointment via facetime, and used a local blood testing facility for the blood draw and he was happy, and so I was I.

The concierge medicine service sounds pretty expensive. Especially for a medicare patient.
