Dr. Joseph Galati has been noticing a very alarming trend growing in the last 10-15 years in America
“Physicians are not examining their patients anymore? That's like a thing of the past. When I see patients, every single patient gets in a gown and they're examined from head to toe. And patients will ask, "What are you going to do to me?" And I'll ask them, "Hasn't your other doctors been examining you?" And they're like, "No, they just sit and talk to me."”
This is mainly driven by insurance companies
- Doctors have to have quick appointments, often times 10-15 minute slots
- Testing and medications have much higher reimbursement rates so they go with those over lengthy exams
We need to kick big money out of healthcare
