Reply to comment by pdoxr9 in Physicians: Cox vs Mercy? by [deleted]

OP asked for physicians' opinions. I gave the one I know.

Every time this turns into a debate about "why", though, it just breaks down along religious lines with both sides whining about anecdotes vs evidence.

If I'm like "Mercy has a bunch of religious policies", people are like "no, but my doctor is great and I had a great outcome" or "yeah, they're assholes, and I almost died".

If I'm like "Cox feels impersonal and cold", people are like "no, but my doctor is great and I had a great outcome" or "yeah, they're assholes, and I almost died".

There's no point.

EDIT: to be clear, I don't think they're equivalent. Just that the argument here gets pretty silly.

The thing about comparing anecdotes between Cox and Mercy is that the negative anecdotes for Mercy far outnumber the negative anecdotes for Cox.

I've also heard nothing but bad things regarding employee treatment and work culture at Mercy from people who've worked there. I've also had more problems with Mercy in regard to my line of work as a caseworker.

I'd love to see some independent metrics on both employee and consumer satisfaction between Cox and Mercy.

Yep. I agree with you completely. I didn't mean to make it sound like they were actually equivalent. I was just explaining why I'm not personally very interested in "debating" it.
