GoluboiOgon posted:the framing of "In medicine, too, we are trying to deliver a range of services to millions of people at a reasonable cost and with a consistent level of quality. Unlike the Cheesecake Factory, we haven’t figured out how" is absurd. every other developed country has figured out ways to do healthcare with better coverage for half of the cost minimum. reasonably priced universal healthcare is a solved problem, but the people who profit from our wasteful system have enough clout to make copying any other country's system politically impossible. What you are talking about is not what Gawande, the author, is on about. The whole focus of a lot of his writings on medicine have to do with methods of standardizing quality in medicine. Some of it is about the economics too but more of it is about the quality issue. The thrust of his writing is that medicine is a discipline that stands somewhere between artisan craftsmanship and assembly line factory methods such as are employed in auto industry, electronics etc. The older school traditional mentality in Western doctors is that they are artisans with their own individual methods and quirks and each knows best what works for them and that they should be able to achieve similar results via different methods. But when you actually look rigorously at results with objective methods, comprehensive surveillance etc. you see HUGE variations in important quality results like wound infections, hospital acquired infections, mortality, rates of surgical failure etc. When you are dealing with events that have relatively low incidence, significant variation between hospitals or doctors might not be noticed unless you are looking really hard for it. Like if one doctor has a mortality rate of 6 percent of his heart surgeries and another one has a rate of 2 percent. Anyway Gawande is very much in the camp that doctors need to abandon the skilled artisan mentality and transition into the Ford assembly plant era of standardization of practice, and that's the lens with which he's looking at Cheesecake Factory. They are doing something fairly complex, preparing meals from scratch on site, but doing it with a highly consistent quality and result, similar to, say, McDonald's although McDonald's process is probably less complex because of the nature of the menu. Forget about the fact that Cheesecake Factory is the bougie McMansion of restaurant chains that a lot of D&D posters would probably find offensive or gauche, he's really mainly on about how consistently they can produce good meals. An example, he did an essay years ago about Caesarean section. Obstetricians who trained in earlier eras did a lot of challenging deliveries with the use of forceps. The problem is, to be good with forceps is a difficult skill to acquire that requires many many cases to get really good at, and there will be a wide variation in skill among doctors using forceps with really variable results. By contrast, C-section is a surgery that even surgeons with very mediocre skill can do efficiently and safely with very consistent results and low complication, and everyone training in OB does a lot of them and gets proficient. So the whole specialty has moved in the direction where dodgy delivery situations will tend to default to C-section where many of them would have been done with forceps in the past. Some of the OBs trained in earlier eras who are very skilled with forceps could have gotten the same results with forceps without surgery, but overall the risk of serious complications and consistency of results between doctors (moving in the positive not negative direction in terms of brain damaged or dead baby outcomes) has improved through standardization of approach. He's done a ton of essays over the years on this basic theme looking at everything from OB, cystic fibrosis care, hernia surgery etc.

I saw a program a few years back about the closing hours of the war, with vignettes about the soldiers killed right at the last minute. Some commanders insisted that 'Aggresive attacks be pressed home', remember this is right at the end of the 100 days offensive and it's become a mobile war again, even knowing that an Armistice was almost inevitable and the orders confiriming that fact could be received at any moment. Watching this I've rarely felt angrier than I did at this literal waste of life.

Operating medicine in the US the same way that they operate in the UK or Canada would require a massive change in how American healthcare operates. That's not a reason to do it - the US system is terrible. But acting like it would be a small or easy change is ignorant. Your day to day interaction with medicine will need to fundamentally change.

Its helpful that McSally is very unlikely to pull a Rick Scott and start throwing out conspiracy threats and will instead take her loss well. Because she knows if she behaves she’ll likely get appointed to McCain’s seat anyway.
