When I say foreigners I mean foreign in the sense that the accent is so
heavy you can only understand a few of the words they speak,their
writing is even harder to fathom

YOu should see my hand-writing. It is so bad, my teachers let me print
rather than write cursive in school. And it has been downhill since then.

so even when they tell you what is
going on you still have no clue and most when you look at their resumes
graduated from ali ben habib university or some such in some country you
never heard of,

I bet you never heard of Hahnemann University, where I graduated from,
either. Hahnemann was right in the heart of Philadelphia.

did residency and fellowship in some dirtwater USA town
that you can't find on a map foreign.

Well, unless it is a dirtwater USA town near Canada or Mexico, it won;'t be
on a foreign map.

They are probably (I'm guessing)
te only ones willing to work for the wages that these local yocal HMOs
are willing to pay them.

And who is the one who belongs to the local yocal HMO? If you want quality
care, you have to pay for (this is not to suggest that the care you get from
these people is second-rate).

One that my wife went to see recently had this
to say on his official dictated report about her " Patient denies any
joint pains, dificulty in walking and demonstartes no difficulty in
range of motion." My wife entered his office using a walker and can
barley stand due to advanced arthritis. This is documented for over 6
years in her medical records. "patient denies any ( I forget the word he
used for water retention) Mind you my wife's ankles are almost always
swollen to twice the size of normal ankles and she has been on water
pills for years. "Patient shows no eidence of any skin lesions or
rashes." My wife's legs, hands, feet and back of neck are covered with
extremely painful psoriasis to the point of cracks and open sores.
They've been treating her for years for this and nothing has worked so
far. He goes on to say "patient denies any pulminary issues, no
shortness of breath or difficuly in brething noted." My wife has COPD
and suffers from apnea which she has to use a Cpap machine for and has
been seeing specialists for these things for years. All of this was
obvious to see and well noted in her records which apparently he never
read. This is the kind of foreign doctors they use here. I have no
problem with foreign doctors if you can understand them and they are
competent.

Why have you been going to him for years?
