Are you sure you want to know?

ranking medical care by country

Some of the data is older; a few links provide updates, but they're still/yet nothing to brag about/take pride in, even though our expenditure per capita ranks first—IOW (to put it nicely) we're not getting what we're paying for.

Problem is most Docs don't take kindly to their patients educating them.
IME, this is changing—albeit slowly. How information is presented plays a huge role; no-one likes to be told they're behind times and/or how to do their job, especially when they've expended/invested so much time & resources in their education/training.

Assembling a good support network may seem a daunting task (considering half of all doctors are below average) but it IS doable; it takes time & homework—motivation we've all got!

Add'l Info on assembling the right team of doctors
