Are Doctors Doing More Hurt Than Help?
Here’s a hint…if they are, we have no way of knowing about it.

As a result, it’s nearly impossible for clients to pick the best hospitals and doctors. With that said, it’s important to do as much research as you can and consult your primary care physician before seeing a new physician. Moreover, if you think it’s important to hold all people accountable – even doctors, reaching out to your Congressperson is a good place to start.
