Dignity Healthcare - Medicine or Business

Dignity Healthcare is all about telling you in glowing terms what you should receive from them in terms of healthcare and then doing exactly the opposite in practice and performance First they are averse to public contact If you call the Dr who oversees your care you initially get passed off to a call center so they can filter your reason for calling After several other transfers you may be lucky enough to actually talk to someone who works in your doctor s office You ll never reach the Dr s office directly Second they document every conversation every call every emotion that you express frustration anger etc and that becomes a part of your permanent health record Many things will go into your permanent medical record incorrectly because the Dr was not accurate in what he entered And there is no way you can correct that Why is this being done by Dignity health professionals My guess is because they are really practicing law not medicine Third there is an appalling lack of basic communication skills among staff and doctors toward patients especially with regard to prior medical issues and current concerns When a doctor and patient are in the examining room the doctor pays more attention to writing his narrative on computer than she he does to listening to and examining the patient It is a sort of theoretical medicine that is being conducted between doctor and patient rather than a hands-on practice based on examination and diagnostics On a recent visit I talked with my doctor for perhaps 20 minutes in a sort of question-and-answer format He dismissed most of my concerns and was more interested in suggesting websites that had to do with healthy eating and living He never looked in my ear regarding recent hearing loss and pain there and almost as an afterthought quickly listened to my heart only not my lungs before he exited the exam room If you expect Dignity Healthcare to deliver the same type of medicine as healthcare professionals used to deliver you will be sadly mistaken But they always make sure to get your primary and secondary insurance information correct But what is your insurance paying for In my opinion a lot of borderline competence and minimal-standard medicine Dignity should look after their patient s best interests first rather than their financial viability I m not in the healthcare business so I can t tell them how to fix it A return to traditional Dr s Office medicine could be a start I can say that if you use words like diginity and respect in your promotional material and don t exhibit that with a caring competent work force you may fool some but not all of the public If Dignity Healthcare continues to make medicine solely a business I predict it will fail in both
