I just read this Op-Ed by our old pal Scott Gottlieb about AI coming in to take on doctors roles sooner than later. Convenient we have a mass exodus and shortage of doctors to expedite this trend. The same people that always tell you not to look up your symptoms and self diagnose are looking to AI to take your symptoms and diagnose. And even natural paths that take cash seem to be over burdened. Mine is 5-6 weeks out which may not seem like a lot but just a year ago I could get right in. I wonder if the AI will hold your diagnosis hostage if you aren’t vaccinated.

I was booted from my primary because I don't wear masks. I tried to be courteous and sit/stand away from others (I wasn't sick or showing signs other than strep throat, which I have quite often). I just can't stand anything over my face.

It wasn't my NP who pushed the issue, as she seemed to care less. It was the "office manager" and a 20 something gal who draws blood.

I've been trying for 2 years to find most ANYONE who will take new patients...so far no luck.

BTW, this is a satellite office of UVA in VA. This ban I suspect is system wide! They own most of the hospitals and clinics in middle VA. 😒
