The system is not good at treating 90 percent of the visits to GP's, family practice docs, internists, etc. This group of patients are medicated without identifying the cause of their problem and they tend to fall down the chronic degenerative disease rabbit hole. Prevention is the key to sucessfully cope with these patients, but thanks to insurance company practices, prevention has no chance of generating revenue. The system is rigged in favor of insurers and pharmaceutical companies. Docs are complicit as a result of their lack of training in this area, and tend to follow made up metrics like best practice and evidence based medicine. You guys are going to have to do better.
