  • Sounds to me like you are spoilt with too much choice. It's a problem! Be thankful for even one doctor.
    It amazes me how two people could downvote this. First the lack of gratitude. Second the complete ignorance of what it's like to live without easily accessible healthcare. I know older people who were among the half of their many siblings to survive to adulthood. I know older people who grew up with stepparents since their own parents died young. All of the above has consequences for a person's worldview. As for myself, I have very good free and comprehensive insurance that I haven't used in many, many years except for the dentist every six months. I'm thankful not only for that safety net but also for the perspective gained from being raised with that sort of awareness.

    Well, let's use an analogy (which isn't perfect, but might help). 

    Say the OP was upset that her child has grown up and left the house and the OP was having trouble on how to deal with it, etc.  Now someone comes in and says "Sounds like you're spoilt!  It's a problem! Be thankful you even have a child."

    Is that post helpful to the OP?

    Selective reading comprehension. "Sounds to me like you are spoilt with too much choice." Instead I read it as: "Sounds to me like you are spoilt with too much choice." Two different statements.
