Fatekh Vergasov Kaiser Permanente therapy style To seize the bull by the horns, let be asked... How many years Are you a customer of Kaiser Permanente?   About 10 years or so   Who were you your service providers?   In most cases they were therapists: so called physicians or family doctors... Optometrist, dermatologist, labs and different nurses...   Who are the best In descending value order?   First of all, Nurses off cause, who in most cases are very friendly, they have a lot of patience, politeness and respect...   Optometrist, who is using many precise tool to determinate my eyes condition and this way he/she creates trust   Dermatologist,  who deserve respect for honestly saying: "We don't treat cases like yours. You should go to any beauty salon"   Labs, where I never was shown any needle used to penetrate my vein, so I never sure needle is new and good. Where vein penetration here were done the way I fill wounded several days...   Therapists, who have no clue, what is the nature of service, what does it mean to be SP (Service Provider)) and thus they treat customers as a Kaiser Permanente slaves, which we are not and never been... So, most problem I have with therapists, which I use to have 3 or 4...   Can you be more specific in you statements about therapists?   Therapists pretend to be modern doctors, who provide service, based on so called "scientifically proven facts"... Lets see, if they are capable...   Doctor's education. During education process, Therapists never study Measurement, Verification and Validation or Theory of conjoint measurement, etc. So they are simply not properly educated...   Why it is so important?   Because modern doctor's treatment decisions must be based on the results of various measurements, archived from using accurate tools and scientific methods...So, true value of doctor's diagnosis, based on un-accurate measurement data is amost zero   Give us some examples, please   Was I ever given opportunity to rest in the test chair 15-25 minutes before start of my blood pressure test? No Was ever proper cuff proposed to me? No Was it the same chair, where are use to rest, and the chair, where blood test was tested? No Was I ever get warning about my right positionin chair for taking blood pressure before blood pressure test starts? No   Have you ever had opportunity to discus your health conditions with your doctors?   No   Why?   Therapist always demonstrate how extremely busy they are... so have no time to talk... None of Therapist came to the meeting with me in time. They always late no less than 15-20 minutes... None of Therapist ever even touch my body or simply shake my hand... they even does not want to look at me... None of Therapist are really interesting in computer! Usually Therapist put one sight at my file, make some prescription and just disappear Total meeting time usually tooks less than 10 minutes... Therapist treat customer like soilless mechanical entity: car, tractor, TV, radio, etc. My 1st Therapist in response to my problems as a man, which used to happened after pills prescribed by her, said: "You are to old to think about such things"... And thanks to God, her leg was broken almost immediately... and I got another Therapist...   How good they as psychologist?   Therapist not value and use main therapist's and even just normal human being tool like conversation, dialog, word... Meanwhile, Word has power to treat and even cure... That's why, other doctors - I've heard by accident in the hospital elevator, -  use to name Therapist just "pill-pushers"...   So, why that doctors even name themselves Therapist?   Nobody knows...   Health   www.pseudology.org
