So it's great to see that medical education will be condensed down to simply running for office. Are we innovative, or what?

The pretense that there are enough trained M.D.'s in the U.S. - that is about to join the other b.s. in the cesspool of history, along with "U.S. medical care can't function without corporations to ration care and extract profit." The other pretense - that medical education must be restricted to a handful of the rich, or those willing to borrowing gigantic amounts of money - is too stupid to deal with. The first-world nations of Europe manage to educate anyone capable of learning the medical arts. We'll move out of Banana Republic status... slowly, of course, because we have the dead weight of our insanely greedy rightwing opposing literally every single piece of legislation that benefits the American people. ----------------------------------------------------------------- > The British NHS just imported doctors for decades and only expanded > medical education some 45 years after the NHS was set up. ----------------------------------------------------------------- Heh. Slow learners? ----------------------------------------------------------------- > They're still recruiting thousands of nurses from the 3rd World because > it's a messy and not terribly well paid job. --------------------------------------------------------------- There are two nurses in my family, both pretty well paid by American standards. (i.e., can afford to buy a house, buy good cars, go on vacations, give gifts, dress well, save some money.) So I am sorry to hear that the British still underpay anyone they can, even individuals in charge of life and death. That would be a classic example of 'penny wise, pound foolish', eh? |
