The USA health system is falling apart. Cancer has become a business in California. I recently faced malpractice? or clerical error? Idk what to call this. Alta Bates pathology department results came out negative, then a few days later they amended it and said it was a mistake, that I had invasive carcinoma... 5 days ago I underwent a double mastectomy with the uncertainty if I had cancer or not because second opinion doctors don't care about us either, The system has became so greedy that all healthcare professionals care about is $$$$. I tried by any means to find a way to have an independent biopsy, but the system tricks you in many ways that once you realize it's SURGERY DAY. AT THE END, I CUT MY BREAST FOR THEM TO LEAVE ME ALONE FOREVER and stop profiting from my heath. #californiahealthcare #unitedstateshealthcare #cancersucks #altabates #stanfordcancercenter #breastcancer

@SutterHealth A single, annual checkup has ZERO CO-PAY. FULL STOP. You do not get to charge me for TWO VISITS ON THE SAME DAY — one a wellness, and one a medical — just because I mentioned something that you’ve unilaterally decided was “not preventative.” This is double billing.

In a recent San Francisco Chronicle feature, Dr. Charlotte Carlson, a geriatrician at Sutter Health, shares how simple, everyday habits can help protect balance and reduce the risk of falls. A few ways to get started: ⚖️ Try simple balance exercises 🦵 Add small, daily movement 👀 Notice early changes 👓 Support your vision and hearing 🚶‍♀️ Keep moving Falls are not an inevitable part of aging.
