Shame Boy posted:I mean yes the problem is the American healthcare system is built in such a way to make everything maximally, fundamentally hosed up, and doctors being Terrible is just one of the most visible side effects. NPs are the most recent hydra head of the fuckening of American healthcare into a two-tier system The original idea was that you take, say, a nurse with 10 years experience, give them 2 years of rigorous schooling, and you have something that's kind of like a doctor Except now it's increasingly people get their BSN and go straight to online NP school without ever even working at bedside. And they're lobbying for full prescription rights in plenty of states, lol. But big hospitals don't care cause hey, NPs can bill for 85% an MD does and cost half as much lol. Any problems this causes for patients will most likely show up years down the road and be Someone Else's Problem, and if not, it's cheaper to pay the malpractice payments In general the American healthcare system grinds MDs and other staff to the bone pumping patients through for profit, and since doctors are the face people interact with, they get blamed for stuff like 15 minute sweatshop medicine time slots. The system relies on burning doctors out so they become complacent and too tired to explore other options than those the hospitals want to give them; when the hospitals aren't lobbying as hard as they can to put roadblocks to private practice. The de-petit-bourgousizing of doctors is getting close to complete, the vast majority are employees of big hospital systems now and have to deal with MBAs, MHAs, and random insurance bureaucrats telling them how to do their jobs (the profit-maximinizing way, generally). Your average doctor these days comes out of med school with 6 figures of debt and is pretty much the hospital's bitch through residency and possibly beyond, depending on what specialty they go into and how well they can manage paying that poo poo off the out of touch boomers who run the AMA are already fully vested and don't recognize these problems or don't care. fuckem. source: am medical resident

No because the reason they aren't doing that is because of big government regulations, not because they don't want to

And lol if you think there are only two tiers of health care. The VA is its' own tier, largely full of boomers that want to bitch about Vietnam all day yet. They'll sit there and absorb socialized health care while praying for a donny boy dictatorship between spouting fits of FYGM. Go work for the VA. Seriously, they're shorthanded as hell and paying for it now. You'll get to deal with aasholes like me all the time, but then you don't have to carry malpractice insurance or gently caress with insurance approval or worrying about whether or not the patient can afford their scripts. No kids to deal with either, just adults that ate or breathed a lot of lead in the past. CRUSTY MINGE has issued a correction as of 14:27 on Jul 28, 2021 |

We've been getting huge amounts of money thrown at us to modernize and replace medical and building systems that have needed replacement for decades, but we're dying for people to actually administer the work. We just got a special pay scale so the money is pretty good, you don't have to worry about moral hazards from the profit motive (just political fuckery), and you sure as hell won't be bored.

ToxicAcne posted:With all the Antivax poo poo going on, do you guys think that the patient autonomy movement and the reduction of the patient-doctor relationship to a customer seller one has something to do with it? I think it's more just the general erosion of trust in experts across the board. If you wanna tie that back in to capitalism, I get the sneaking suspicion it's because experts tend to say annoying stock-price-affecting things like "smoking is bad for you" and "hey maybe we should stop dumping megatons of CO2 into the atmosphere" so reducing and confusing the public's trust in them is in the interest of lots of different industries.

The lawyers working that case at the DOJ were originally going to give them the 'death penalty' (revoking their banking charter) because the money laundering they committed was so massive and blatant until someone higher up swooped in last minute, took the case from the prosecutors working on it, and proceeded to soft ball them instead.

Yeah but at the risk of reverting to my 13 year-old edgelord atheist self, Christians do have centuries of practice cherry picking which parts of a text they find relevant at any given time (especially the kind of Christians who will smuggle in a fragmented tablet of the epic of Gilgamesh to display in their Bible museum).

I think it's the only time those people go because they're not even crazy enough to spend money on Holy Land Experience. The church groups usually bring it to capacity so godless heathens can't get in for free.

quote:Hashing power, or hashrate, is an industry term used to quantify the amount of computing power a rig contributes to the overall bitcoin network. I really hate how it's always framed as "computing power" or "solving complicated puzzles" or whatever. It's guessing a loving number over and over again in a wasteful way. That is what it does. That is it. It doesn't have "computing power", it can't "compute" at all because it's not a computer, it can do one thing and that is guess a loving number really fast.
