You know, what I don't understand is why they never found it, the doctors.
My son has had clean checkups every year since the day he was born.
How could the doctors not pick it up?
He might not have been tested thoroughly enough.
Why not?
You got an HMO, right?
Yeah, and there's your answer.
HMOs pay their doctors not to test.
It's their way of keeping costs down.
Say Mike did need additional testing
and insurance says they won't cover them.
The doctor keeps his mouth shut, and come Christmas,
the HMO sends the doctor a fat-ass bonus cheque.
- Is that true? - Possible. Not likely, but possible.
You are telling me that these doctors may have known what was wrong with my son,
and they could have treated him all along?
- Who knows? I don't know, John. - Don't take this personal, Doc.
- Bunch of goddamn crooks. - You don't know what you're talking about.
- What about that thing that you guys take? - The thing?
Yeah, that promise.
- It's called the Hippocratic Oath. - More like the hypocritical oath.
How's it go, Doc?
I solemnly swear to take care of the sick and damn-near-dying,
unless they ain't got major medical.
- Something like that? - You've got it perfectly.
It's funny, but it's not that far from the truth, okay?
This shit happens all the time.
Paramedics bring in some accident victim.
But when the big boys in Accounting find out they can't pay
they send them packing.
- Hospitals can't turn people away. - Isn't there laws against that?
There's laws, but there's also ways around those laws.
The only thing we have to do is stabilize them.
And after that, we're off the hook. And you know it.
- That's not how it works. - That's exactly how it works.
Maybe not up there on the fifth floor, but in here if you don't have any money,
you get a Band-Aid, a foot in the ass, and you're out the door.
Shut up. Enough already.
I've heard all the bitching and moaning I can stand for one day, all right?
If you all want to regard me as some kind of blood-sucking vampire, than fine, great.
I'll be the bad guy. But who's holding the fucking gun?
