Three overwhelming majority of that profit is going to insurance and pharma shareholders, not to the doctors themselves. The difference between a doctor and a billionaire is about a billion dollars. Everybody ought to be living like doctors and itâs the shareholderâs fault that we arenât.

Itâs taken decades of bad experiences for me to get here. I have seen time and again that most doctors are not interested in helping people. They are interested in driving a Mercedes and retiring with millions of dollars. They arenât billionaires but they are selfish pricks. And you can easily tell the difference between the minority of doctors who do care and the majority who donât. The typical doctor assaults you with âyouâre just another patientâ vibes from the first moment you walk in the door. They donât ask followup questions, they donât listen to your complaints about whatever issue youâre having, theyâre basically worse than a Google search.
Then sometimes youâre faced with insane billing issues like one Iâm going through now from a mental health professional who came back months later after not helping me at all and being completely inept at their job to try and double bill me for all the services I already paid for. This guy sucked from day one, utterly incapable of communicating, and now heâs repeatedly blown me off when I try to straighten this out and prove I paid it. I approached him for help with stress and anxiety and literally got no help and added stress and anxiety about the fucking basics of just trying to seek help from him. I honestly suspect heâs a scammer who has pulled this double bill scam a lot. I know this area has a lot of wealthy people who wouldâve assumed they made a mistake and just paid the bill of hundreds of dollars again. I could tell you several fucked up stories about how doctors wasted my time, not helping me at all, costing me a lot of money, and stressing me out.
Trust me, Iâve appreciated the great doctors Iâve seen. They are wonderful humans who clearly want to help people. Itâs unmistakable and unforgettable when you get a doctor like that. I have no beef with them, and even if they made me wait a long time, Iâd assume it wasnât their fault. But Iâd guess out of the doctors Iâve seen in my life, and weâre probably looking at 30-50 doctors at this point, less than 20% actually seem in the field for good reasons.
