Good healthcare is possible

I have been a patient at a hospital and I really didn’t see any problems with the actual healthcare system, at least in my case. I had breast cancer, received chemo and radiation, I have arthritis and some other medical conditions like high blood pressure, high cholesterol, etc., etc. With all these, I have several doctors treating me and every one of them communicate among them for my treatments. I have an internist, oncologist, gynecolgist, the doctor that gave me radiation, the one that treats my arthritis. All of them receive my tests, know exactly which medicines I am on and so far I am very happy with all of them. Maybe it helps that I am a doctor’s wife……but my point is EVERY SINGLE PATIENT, no matter the relation with any doctor, should be able to receive the EXCELLENT care that I got.
