    If you want a doctor that speaks English, you are going to have to take what you can get. Be a grown up and just tell him “no thanks” if he suggests something you don’t want.
    When my long-time family doctor retired and transferred his patients to another doctor, who was from Pakistan, he tried to get me on blood pressure meds and also offered viagra. I said "NO" and quit smoking, lost some weight, and started exorcising and I've been fine. I looked around and found another doctor that I could talk to and I've been happier and I've avoided being on any meds at all.

    I'm convinced that the only way to receive honest, quality health care is to forget about your health "insurance"and anyone they might approve of and go find someone working for themselves taking cash. Otherwise, your health decisions are primarily based on making someone else money with the ultimate goal of stringing you along for as long as possible to drain as much money from you as they can. Your actual health is insignificant.

    Thanks Obama

    Yeah, but when the Republicans control the House, Senate, and Executive branch, they are going to repeal obammy care. I know it, because they promised it if elected.
    Remember when the vote was down to a tie, and that worthless John McCain walked in and voted to keep Obama care because he was mad at the conservatives. That was the last thing he did before he died, screwed the American citizens.

    I remember many things.

    I remember June 2012 when the last spark of anything resembling a remnant of the republic went dead.

    It is LONG past time for the States to revoke those limited and specified powers they delegated to the central state and dissolve it.

    Having in recent years returned to the medical profession after a nearly 50 year absence I've been OK with my care so far. GP Doc was up front that she believed in vaccinations, but said that she was not going to wrestle with me to get me to have them. I smiled and said while that might be fun, it was a wise decision.;)

    No joke. Our founding documents said "If this doesn't work for you later, abolish it!"

    Curious how no politicians ever mention that...

    I asked my GP of over 30 years who he suggested when he retired. Out of 6 Docs in the office he wasn't much of a fan of any of them but said if I didn't mind a Chinese guy he was the best of the lot. I tried him but on my get acquainted visit when he was going over my history it took 3 shots at "acid reflux" for me to understand what he was asking me. I didn't have a problem with the Chinese but felt communication was as important as competence so I started my search. That was 2012 and I've been through 6 Docs before finding my current NP.. As an aside my long time Doc had no issues with me being armed in the office and neither does the current NP. My pistol goes on with my pants so that was always a consideration during my search for a Doc.
