    You obviously go to some pretty high-falutin' pamper clinics for the offspring of doctors, or never had a serious illness.

    And I'd need your father's name to look up what he did, but as long as he paid his debt to society I won't hold his criminal history against him going forward.

    As someone who has had an MRI and an ultrasound in the last 2 weeks, I can attest that your doctor must practice inside a giant hospital.

    Everywhere else, the facilities are shared among the whole city's doctors, and are owned indepently, as Maris said.

    That's not lab work. Though it's hard to believe even a small clinic doesn't have an ultrasound machine. The local ones here do, they have their own X-Ray machines and the develop them in house.

    For Maris' benefit, my parents have nothing to do with what doctors I see. That's dictated by the ever increasingly crappy health care coverage I get from my job.

    Fair enough that you have no clue what my father did, but you might know what a nephrologist or oncologist (step mother) does in general.

    I've seen nurse practitioners several times. My doc's practice has 2 on staff. And she works at a couple of locations so if I get sick on the "wrong" day I get a NP. I have had no trouble, they have diagnosed and treated just fine. Clearly they would not do major surgery, but figuring out I had a sprained but not broken rib, among other things, they do fine.

    I love the way some people say "I'm smart, everyone else is an idiot". They would not demand an MD for a hangnail but all those morons out there would. Not sure who they are, going to the doctor is a pain.

    And in the real world, you know, that real world, countries that have implemented universal health care report an initial surge as people who got no health care bring in all their accumulated issues. But it levels off. People don't really get three hearing aids because it's free. And I can assure you no woman gets an extra pelvic because it's free.

    And birth control is not terrorism. A lot of terrorists oppose birth control and carry out terrorist attacks against providers.
