Jennny,
Your decision has to be based on your evaluation of the pdoc.
Do you trust him & has he helped you ? Is he competent, etc ?
Now a bit of a rant !
Immoral & unethical ? Crap !
He has not droped the patients. He is dropping a business arrangement with an insurance co. What does this have to do with the Hipp Oath ?
He has offered a discount rate to the patient. What do you want ? Him to do it for nothing ? Do you work for nothing ?
Tacky & uncalled for ? Where does this hyper moral attitude come from ? I am flat out amazed ! Then the conclusion that he provides substandard care based on nothing ! made up out of air !
The pdoc has every right to make a business decision. He has made a generous offer to discount his fees so that old patients can continue to see him. How much more kind & generous can one be ?
