Doctor G. And EMR Dreams
My comment first:
Excellent beginning of True Healthcare reform! Positive thoughts and hopes for Patient Centered Charting. We have some of that in USA. Your ideas keep going. NHS has too much Government in it. Health Maintenance organizations can be more efficient, paid to insure patients an actuarial appropriate per patient per month fee. Shared risk between insurers and patients. Insurers are motivated to keep enrollees healthy. Rehabilitation self directed is ok. You need direction. Maybe just get an OT/PT evaluation initially and periodically. High level stuff. Your muscles get all out of balance. Best Wishes. Your recovery amazing me. 👍🏼

Healthcare

I follow Dr. G who is a great neurologist. He was struck by a motorcycle while running 🏃🏻
He was praising National Health System in UK 🇬🇧
I, of course, had to respond...
Ok, about the NHS. I know the “single payer” model is a respectable goal.
Everyone gets access to care equally, no charge, quality is good.
In the USA 🇺🇸 our system of Healthcare is a hodgepodge of private, public, self pay, no pay (hospital system charity) . In the USA, you would probably have a good health insurance policy as a Dr. working in private or public hospital. There would be a pending lawsuit settlement for the motorist who hit you. You would probably have copays for inpatient care and meds. If you were poor or uninsured, there are programs which you could apply for like government healthcare for poor Medicaid or “free care” as part of hospitals’ Hill Burton act requiring they provide some free care for non profit status. Elderly and younger disabled like myself have Medicare. I have a Retiree Medicare supplemental plan for myself and my husband which covers deductibles. I earned that Benefit and took less salary because I had good benefits. A few self pay people stuck with a bill can pay over time. It really is a fragmented system. But flipping a switch to Single Payer System isn’t easy. For one thing Americans Don’t like standing in line, waiting, being told there are limits to their healthcare. Another is the general distrust of government deciding, well, anything. Best Wishes on your healing. Don’t overdo it.
