Reminds me of when Beltey was arguing on the O-Board that homosexuality was delisted as a mental illness for dubious reasons, and when confronted with peer-reviewed academic literature contradicting him, linked me to some paper to support his argument that he claimed was a "pretty good historical analysis of the delisting of homosexuality from the DSM." Not only was the paper somebody's high-school assignment, it actually argued the opposite of what Beltey thought it was. He didn't even read it. |

i had a doc's office do that to me once. i've been going there for like 10 years and all of a sudden i get a COLLECTIONS letter i was so angry. over $21 or something. i know it's their biller and not them but i still had the receipt and so i went into the office and the receptionist had to call the biller and they told her SHE WAS WRONG and she was like bitch, i got the receipt right in front of my face and if this goes on the patient's credit report we will have a problem.

I believe this is correct. The only solution to the healthcare crisis is to socialize.
I'm not convinced it's impossible either. Right now, yes, but things are only going to get worse in terms of insurance companies and the ACA's failures... but one of its successes is that it (and Bernie Sanders) has planted a seed of thought in our society that healthcare is a right and everyone has the right to see a doctor and not pay $100,000 for getting injured and shit like that. Relative deprivation caused a lot of "independents" and even conservatives to turn on the GOP for their plan, which is basically just to go backwards and fuck everyone cause it's the companies who matter. I think it's clear people won't accept that as a solution. There's only one direction to go. |

I feel that I have paid my clinical psychologists exactly the right amount, though. Registered psychologists should charge less, and most do. Most "counsellors" that have no clinical qualifications have been utter shite IME. Worse than useless. |

it makes people suspicious of doctors & medicine and gives incentives to treat & not cure or diagnose & not follow up i mean its just bad
further i personally have found RNs to be just as knowledgeable as MDs and tbqf more of the proletarian in the situation between the two and i wonder if the whole hierarchy of degrees isn't some vestige of patriarchy that we should completely obliterate you should be richly rewarded for doing the work of a nurse or physical therapist or doctor but my definition of "rich reward" isn't six figures |

There is a big wealth gap between doctors as well - some begin their careers saddled with huge debt, and having lost most of their twenties with their noses in textbooks. I think if you want these kids to become good doctors you have to help them pay back their student debt and have the means to relax. Once they become locums, before they specialise, they end up working a lot of night shifts in emergency departments, getting abused by alcoholics and drug addicts and homeless people.
The ones you really have to watch out for are the 3rd/4th generation doctors - the ones who graduate debt free, the ones whose parents gave them plenty of recreation and leisure opportunities by sending them to cancun for spring break or whatever. These are the kids who tend to rise to the top and fill the spots in all the highest paid medical specialist fields - surgeons of all description but especially cardiologists, maxillofacial surgeons, ophthalmologists, all that kind of stuff. These fucking assholes don't need any kind of break given to them and if anything need to be barred from making more than 100k/year so that they rethink their career choices and turn to a job that would suit their privilege better, like stockbroking or property investment or whatever wayyy too many of these jerks around sydney. Being a cardio surgeon in private practice in a finance based city is basically a licence to print money Sydney health is in the shitter because just about every doctor here ends up wanting a big house in a good suburb with their kids at private schools and a yacht and european holidays, so surgeons are known to be performing unnecessary surgeries just for money. it's sick. |

there is certainly a difference in the amount of education a nurse gets vs a doctor, however doctors don't use most of their training every day, so it really doesn't matter. a cardiologist and a cardio nurse might know similar amounts of info regarding cardiology, though the MD may have more general medical knowledge and knowledge of other medical fields. but it doesn't matter while you're sitting in his or her office for a heart problem.
i mean look at psychiatrists, they went to med school too and i think the only medical equipment my psychiatrist has is a scale and a blood pressure cuff. the last time my doctor did anything besides psychiatry was probably his last day of residence 20 years ago. in fact he has to worry way more about pharmacology than anything else |
