In reply to: to Cindi 's message, "Re: Small Town Doctor" on Sunday, March 28, 2010, 09:03: pm
 First, I agree with "to Cindi." Medicaid will often pay for OTC meds if you have a script. Second, many good hospitals do not have staff in every sub-speciality, such as neuro-surgery. Some may not have OB or dermatology. At our hospital, we have GI doctors who will not see Medicaid patients, so the fact that a specialist is on the staff doesn't mean he/she will treat you. Third, based on your initial post,. you seem to be arguing that it is preferable to see a doctor who went to the big medical centers to make "mega-bucks" than one willing to serve a small community taht reallly needs him or her, just because the big medical centers have expensive technology which is often over-used raising the cost of medical care.
