I am one hundreds of ex Kaiser physicians. They were a reasonable employer many years ago and the care was decent, but I saw kaiser rot away at the core. They moved from a patient centered care to a business productivity model. When I first started at Kaiser I saw 20 patients a day maximum and spent a lot of time with them. My boss was a respected senior surgeon. When I left kaiser my boss was a MBA that traded stocks online at work and told me to see 40 patients a day.

I agree with everything you're saying, that's been my experience there as a patient over the decades. Kaiser, like other HMOs, is not patient-centered. Medicine should NEVER be "for profit." So do you practice still? Are you in private practice? I'm looking for a functional medicine physician because it's very clear to me that this is the future of real medicine and actual health, and not the kind where you're told to slather on, inject or ingest some toxic crap that causes 20 other problems for which you'll be prescribed 5 other "medicines" all of which work together to kill you by totally destroying your body's natural ability to heal. This kind of "health" has at it's core an ANTAGONISTIC, ADVERSARIAL WORLD VIEW-- Soooooo disgusting-- HELP!
