Different State, Different Doctor, Different Treatment, Different Attitude

I have lived in several states: California, Minnesota, Pennsylvania, Florida, and Hawaii, let me say this, doctors in different states don’t treat you the same.

Now I have not had menopause in all of these states, just Florida and Hawaii but this is an example of the different ways I have been treated by doctors in my life for various ailments, as well as, menopause. This is the short version.

Our health is a business.

Our well-being is a business.

You know this but how far do doctors go? Do they cross lines they should not? Prescribing pills because they get paid for it. Not performing procedures because they get paid not to do them. How far do they go?

There are federal requirements to be a doctor but do different states teach different things? Do individual states have unique requirements? If they didn’t, then a license would be valid from state to state, and it is not. Do some states push doctors too hard to get a license or do they take the time to teach them to be kind and follow that oath they take?

So, what are the differences? Schooling, costs, what else? Do the differences make them better doctors, or does it impose so much stress on them that they question their life choices?
