Memo to the largest hospital in Vermont – Try to ratchet up your abysmal customer service.
So, UVM Medical Center claims it has an Adult Primary Care service for you, waiting your business with open arms to provide you with the care you need.
There’s only one problem: Don’t even think of trying to get an appointment at the Burlington facility in the old Bishop DeGosbriand Hospital at 1 South Prospect Street in Burlington.
If even dare to call to ask for an appointment. They’ll tell you “we’re not accepting any new patients.”
But, if you want to travel to any of it’s 20-or-so satellite facilities, tally-hoe, finest kind.
Just don’t plan on trying to get into the Burlington facility.
You can write the top, highly-paid UVM medical executives such as Stephen Leffler and Sunil Eappen, as I did.
Crickets.
Or try writing Kathleen Carey at Patient Advocacy.
Crickets.
Carey will have her underling call you to tell you what you were already told by Adult Primary Care: no new patient appointments in Burlington.
You can also write a general-form complaint to UVM Medical.
Crickets.
You can also go to your UVM Medical “portal account,” then go to messaging, then click on appointment for Adult Primary Care.
Crickets.
That’s also dead-end that’ll take you only to weekend care.
You can also write the hospital trustees.
Or better yet write the Green Mountain Care Board. That’s the group that keeps its thumb on the medical center to make sure it toes the line.
Yup. UVM has wide-open, wide-berth, welcoming care. Just don’t call Burlington. – Dan Cohen, Burlington, VT

What do you expect, Burlington has become the cesspool of the homeless, drug users overdosing every day, and the same person just at a different time, they’ll get a seat !!
Take a trip to the UVM Medical Center emergency room, and you’ll see the plethora
of so-called sick people, it’s all free to them………….. you’ll need to travel
And as this article states, try and voice your concerns……..Crickets, but you will hear from them when they need more funding, for important things like pay increases
You hear from them constantly – Prop 22, Chop shop (transgendering (butchering)) shield laws, and $$ to their minions in Montpelier and VT media. This is why I left VT.
Here’s the TRUTH: When you add virtually no new citizens to VT other than those sucking the life out of Medicare (and the rest of the social services) – doctors are going to leave. Bennington County has none either – nor do they have a neurologist, an endocrinologist, and a big “no” for lots of specialists, as no one with any brain in their head is coming to VT anymore because of this crap, so that kinda leaves doctors out of the mix…..
You see Governor Scott & legislators: Physicians, as opposed to your common drug- addled, drug-dealing, homeless, gangster, perpetually unemployed, and illegal alien population require being PAID for their services as the highly educated and trained medical professionals they are.
Now just wait until UVM starts, in approximately four years, graduating a bunch of incompetent half-wits with M.D. degrees because they were chosen in light of “diversity” as opposed to MCAP scores and college performance.
You VOTED for this, democrats? You GOT it! Enjoy, Amerikans!!! Don’t forget to make SURE the surgeon placing those stents in your heart at 3:15am in a few years is a Trans!!!!!
Before the Great Shamdemic, I was already made aware that as a senior Vermonter, I was considered a non-contributing member of society. Ergo, I should learn to shut up, be grateful for the 10 minutes granted to me to sit with my “health care provider”, and…wait for it….OBEY.
Sign my legal name on a small tablet that I was NOT GIVEN THE ABILITY TO READ. I was told (quite impatiently) what it supposedly said. BUT I was NOT given access to the print out.
I refused. I was designated as “non-compliant”. In my file.
Sit passively while they INSIST I sit for a photo to be taken of me, even though I DID NOT WANT THAT.
I refused. I was designated as “non-compliant”. In my file.
Bare my arm to accept a vaccine I DID NOT WANT.
I refused. I was designated as “non-compliant”. In my file.
Muzzle my face with a parasite laden germ infested, government sanctioned “mask” (self-censorship?) if I want to personally see my doctor.
I refused.
Then I was told they would allow me an appointment via “zoom”. I said I do not own a computer with a camera and do not have the money for one. I also made it clear that I did not want my personal medical info on line like that.
So I refused.
NOTE: 24 hours later it was all over the news that all those “confidential” records had been hacked.
Then I was told that I could have a nurse come to my home, BUT only if I wore a mask IN MY OWN HOME.
So I refused.
I received a letter from the Health “Care” office informing me that because of my “non-compliance” I would be denied ANY health care from them as well as ANY AND ALL of their satellites. Even dental care.
My ultimate response to all this Nazi-dogmatic muscle flexing? THANK YOU.
I have gained a sense of autonomy I had lost through the decades. With God by my side I have learned how to stop dangerous infections, heal an abscessed tooth, prevent and yes, even heal the degradation of my congenitally weak kidney, strengthen my liver in order to prevent another hepatic adenoma, and finally-FINALLY- stop debilitating chronic migraines.
I am publicly thanking GOD for the food and herbs and wherewithal to learn for myself and to help others.
Sadly, what most of us have not understood all our lives is that Big Brother and Big Pharma have colluded to give us diseases that we must turn to them to fix. You know, via institutionalized ignorance. The most recent example is learning that although the powers-that-be fully, publicly acknowledged that YES, THE FLOURIDE THEY PUT IN YOUR WATER CAUSES CANCER, they are and will continue to force it on us.
The more they abuse us the more blatant are their desires to eliminate us. As I’ve been saying: They Want You Dead.
Stand up as Americans. Not AMERIKANS.
Nice post in some respects, but sad as well.
I wish you all the best in your future. Remember, God is the great physician. And sadly, our founding fathers predicted much of this – “If your gift is prophesying, then prophesy according to your faith”. They obviously did.
I’m no prophesier, but I’ll take a shot anyway: We are all in a big heap of trouble!!!
What did you use to heal an abscessed tooth?
Struggling with the same.
I am not a licensed physician. I am not offering medical advice.
REMEMBER: 3/4 cup of locally made organic honey, ( NEVER store bought/pasteurized) 2 rounded tblspns of powdered turmeric, 1/4 tspn black pepper, 1 plastic or wooden spoon. (Never never use metal utensils.)
Mix dry ingredients first, then stir into honey in glass jar.
ALSO: Honey is the one food that will never go bad!!!
Day 1: 1/2 – 1 tspn every hour.
Day 2: 1/2 – 1 tspn every 2 hours
Day 3: 1/2 – 1 tspn 4x a day
Day 4-10 1/2 – 1 tspn 3x a day
Don’t do a fast swallow. Let it melt into your soft tissue.
What’s wonderful is that ultimately how much and how long is subjective.
I can honestly say that by the end of the first day the swelling was already halved.
I myself like to refrigerate it at night. That way I start the day with it a bit thicker, which I prefer.
AGAIN: I am not a licensed physician. This is not meant as medical advice!
Finding any doctor is difficult as is finding a plumber, electrician, roofer or help to staff restaurants department stores or corner stores etc ever since the “great resignation”. When the government stops paying people to stay home, the work ethic will re-invigorate. Biden is still busy trying to remove the student debt burdens for college loan recipients… a recent example of the perpetuation of the problem.
You nailed it exactly. THE MEDICAL CARE SYSTEM IN VERMONT IS TOTALLY BROKEN and the state medical care board being in bed with the UVMMC who has taken over almost all of the competition is just as guilty. They both should be sued for failure to watch out for patient care and causing un necessary pain and death
The great scamdemic made UVM and complicit co-conspirators lots of money. Now comes the pain. Not only the pain of the people suffering death of loved ones, but increasing disability and diseases placing heavy burdens on people around the world. The medical community took the bribes and their reputations are now damaged beyond repair in the eyes of many. People are looking beyond the veil to see the truth behind medicine – Rockefeller medicine – and corporate profiteering over wellness and health. Customers for life, transhumanism, human free range lab rats, and slow methodical poisoning. God sees it all. The devil is a lie. How will trust in medicine ever be restored? Perhaps the real healers need to break free from the yoke of the death merchants and create a new system – build it and the people will flock to it…many in the medical community are all ready talking about it and doing it. Starve the beast of their fuel (money) and it will either capitulate or collapse into the abyss from which it came.
