A HERO IN THE MEDICAL FIELD

 

Here is a wonderful story about a doctor who was tired of fighting the insurance companies . She took matters into her own hands and has made a difference to thousands of people.

This lady is a real hero.

It is so refreshing to see a doctor who puts patients first !  There are doctors out there who truly care about their patients. I am blessed to have one myself (sl).

 Does anyone else have a doctor that is like this ?

 

  So Many People ... Fall Through the Cracks

"PHOENIXVILLE, Pennsylvania (CNN) -- After 22 years in private practice and seeing people "kicked around by the system," Dr. Lorna Stuart found herself frustrated with the number of insurance companies and the rules and restrictions that came with them.

 

Because there's no insurance paperwork, Dr. Lorna Stuart says she has more time to spend talking with patients.

"The day-to-day time that I spent on paperwork was increasing, while my patients weren't getting the good care that I wanted to give them -- face-to-face time, one-on-one time," she recalls. "I vowed to do whatever little I could about this inequity of care."

For Stuart, that vow came in the form of opening her own clinic and treating the uninsured."
