I recently read an article that said 70 percent of all GPs
replied in a study that they were unhappy with their jobs
and would gladly change professions if they could. They
cited the biggest problem as all the paperwork the
insurance companies require, that they spend half their
day doing paperwork and the other half rushing patients
through. The article also said there are very few med
students that want to become GPs, it's much more lucrative
to become a specialist, and that there will be a shortage
of GPs in the future. I know our own GP has recently
started to cancel our appointments with little more than 2
hours notice, and I can only presume he has decided to
golf. As much as I like him and feel he is competent in
diagnosis, we are shopping around for a new one.
So once again, it's the insurance companies who are
causing the problem, instead of helping. If they don't get
the hmo paperwork out of whatever the solution is going to
be, I can't see the situation changing much.
