One would think that in these days of computers and the kind of communication they bring, it would be a simple matter to visit a doctor's office, sign in and get service. Such is not the case. When you visit a doctor's office, you recieve a sheaf of paperwork to fill out. Sometimes, even subsequent visits require such paperwork. Why? Well, I detect the swine-like claws of the legal profession behind the bull shit. Lawyers, sensing that the computer era was going to rob them of a large portion of their exhorbitant fees, set about making laws governing the medical profession that are so drakonian that every doctor in this nation is afraid not to comply. These include laws regarding privacy, malpractice and many other items dreamed up by the lawyers. This is the same kind of crap that destroyed the American private aircraft manufacturers, caused huge and unneccesary increases in automobile prices, accelaerated the increase of medical fees, given the auto insurance companies beautifully scripted state and national laws regarding insurance carriage and generally screwed the American public out of TRILLIONS of dollars, all in the name of safety, compassion and avarice. They have invented their own language and written our laws in it so it will forever required their tawdry profession to translate for us peons. Ol' Billy was right.
