Well they did it again. I wondered how long it would take for Concord Hospital administration to drive away another good doctor. It makes me angry and sad to see how these doctors are treated, which then falls directly onto the patients. And then sometimes patients get angry at the doctors, when in fact, the hospital administration has taken away all their say in how things are being done. Our primary care doctors have little to no say in anything anymore. We can never get in to see our primary care doctor when we need to but yet they schedule him with new patients. When we call the primary care office we are answered by a call center who has no medical knowledge and just gives us an unreasonable far out date despite the urgency the patient might feel. The doctors and patients deserve better than what they have been getting. It’s why we continue to lose some of the most dedicated doctors that have given years of service to our health care system. My husband and I personally will miss Dr. Daniel Kallmerten and wish to thank him for his compassionate and wonderful care he has given us for many years in the ER and as our PCP. He will be greatly missed. I wish him nothing but the best in his new retirement and may he know that many of us know he gave it his all. I can only hope that the current administration starts to recognize that what they are doing is not working and that they need to seriously take a look at their “policy” and make some big changes, or else it will only get worse.
