    kaiser does this now, just rushing through the appointments more than before. i noticed alot more people in the waiting room than before, like 12years ago, where it was chill with elss people, now with dozens of people at once in the same waiting room almost all of them older too. my old PCP barely had time until i mentioned things to her, otherwise she would just do half-assed inspection than leave. although i see kaiser hold onto thier MDs much more than private ones. the only place i saw high turnover was at a network geared towards asian, that place went through PAs, NP, MD every 6months, i suspect its meant as a place to jumpstart your career in medicine. just like how some dental practices are merely a place for dentist to rotate and get more experience in dental pratices and jump ship within months.

    i think patients have to advocate for themselves, otherwise they will leave in under 5minutes if you dont say anything.

      This feels like the best advice moving forward. As long as I keep talking, the docs seem to listen, but as soon as I run out of questions, session is over!
