Does America have good doctors?

Question

I live in a country, where doctors can't diagnose even the most simple conditions. Me and other people I know have got a wrong medical diagnosis several times (once I also died from the side effects of a medication that was contraindicated to my condition). They also have an air of arrogance, are rude and you can't ask them any questions.

From my impression doctors in the US are more knowledgeable and professional. Is this true?

You DIED? did you come back from the grave to ask this question? 😳 ...

well I fear that mot people who have very well paid jobs, are mostly there for the paycheck not because they actually want to do what they do. that is only a small percent that actually likes what they do.

health care careers is one of the most hypocritical careers out there. They go in saying they want to help but really they just want the high paycheck. almost nobody likes to be taking care of sick people but the pay is HIGH even for the techs and cleaners and receptionists.

Doctors and nurses win a lot compared to other people in other fields.

Most just want to see you and get you out as soon as possible so they can finally go home and get paid.

only very few of them go out of their way to really try to find out what you have and not just go with the similar symptoms and prescribe some steroid because they have no clue what you have and couldn't be bothered to do anything more because they are getting paid regardless.

it becomes custom to see sick people so most no longer feel compassion or sorry for you, they just like whatever next, don't care about your specific situation.

that's why when you find a good doctor that does care and or a good nurse that shows they care, keep those in mind to go back to instead of others who really are just there to get paid.

this goes for EVERY country not just a specific place.

Perhaps the difference is that they are more likely to lose their license or job here in America than in another country for not doing their job correctly which is what possibly makes it seem that it can be better than other places, or perhaps not. Who knows.

my cousin had been getting giant holes on his legs for a few months, they would fill with water, pop and hurt like hell he said. He went to a bunch of different doctors here and every time he had to wait months and months to hear back from them unless he wants to pay a bunch of money, so it all comes down to how much you can afford to get a good and fast diagnosis, which in his case were always wrong, just guessing and prescribing medication that never helped.

he eventually gave up and drove himself to Mexico where as soon as the doctor saw him he said oh here take this for that on your leg and miraculously he was cured! so he now has faith in Mexican doctors lol which is odd considering here in America the news scares us so much with the odd story about botched people in Mexico but the truth is they get botched here too, they just don't exploit it on the news for us.

I believe there's good doctors anywhere just as bad doctors, MOST however are just there for the paychec, just like most nurses.

I think the biggest problem with doctors is that no matter what condition you have or may have, it takes 3-4 MONTHS to get in and see the doctor. Even when you are having a very fast heartbeat and you are a heart patient, the Emergency doctors just send you home and tell you not to come back there again, no service. They say call your doctor. Well can't see him for four months. So he has to have a very high heart rate for four months as he complains to us his hart is going really fast. The ER room won't even see him.
My friend's mother has water on her brain. She was going to have three procedures to help with it. She went for the first procedure and told her she has to lose some weight before they can help her. She is overweight but not obese. The doctor sent her home. She still has water on her brain and it's been almost 2 week!
Oh yeah, our doctors are just great! NOT.

Yes, we have outstanding doctor they’re very educated and they know what they’re doing except they don’t know how to diagnose ALS. They’re horrible at that, that’s one of the most difficult diseases to diagnose and sometimes they have confusion about cancer but besides that they’re pretty good.

If you can afford the top-end of the USA's healthcare they do have the world's best healthcare - undisputed.

If you are not in the "fly in the top 10 experts in the world" levels of wealth, USA is about 20th. Which is by no means bad but below average for western world.

I'm in the U. S. I've been very sick for a year and a half. The doctors are clueless. They don't forget to charge me, though, for their non-service.

My experience with M. D's in the U. S are all positive...

Yeah, I am sure we have some of the best in the world... but medical health care system as a whole is terrible. It very expensive and all about generating revenue.

Most doctors in the US are pretty competent. But some are pretty arrogant as well. They can be both.

BarryLiverstone · Answer

The USA has some of the best doctors in the world as they are motivated to learn a lot and gain skills so that they can charge lots of $. Thankfully healthcare isn’t free (socialized) so good doctors move to study here and live here.
