What competence concerns did you have? Perceived, or did you experience a true fck up?
I get to meet many folks who complain about the “competence” of the people before me, but when I dig into it it’s because somebody didn’t bring them a turkey sandwich fast enough, or something else didn’t get done fast enough (usually because their neighbor was more critically ill and needed more attention).
That being said, all staff/institutions aren’t created equal so there’s definitely times where I’ve walked into a room and thought “tf did they do that for?”
Ways you can safeguard yourself and put your mind at ease:
Step 1. Don’t get old
Step 2. If you fail step 1 (you will) find a PCP/internist that you trust. Not just for the medical treatment/advice, but also on where/who to go to for unusual/significant diagnoses, testing, treatment, etc. This separates the good PCPs from the great PCPs.
