[quote=Anonymous]I agree with other posters commenting on the overhaul needed for the pharma and device industry. But our approach to educating, training, and paying doctors also needs a massive overhaul. We’re at a point where med school is only achievable by the wealthy.

I am not going to pretend I have thought through the entire approach, so there are lots of holes to poke. But I do think at a minimum, med school should be subsidized by the government since doctors (those in practice and in research) serve the required greater good. It’s not easy to get into med school so it’s not as if providing the subsidiary on will all the sudden allow a bunch of dumb people to attend.

Intern and residency hours need to be reduced and normalized so that we don’t have those that should be saving lives in a constant state of sleep deprivation.

How doctors are compensated and insurance requirements also need a major overhaul. No one should go for their annual physical and not be able to ask their doctor questions about anything bothering them for fear that the doctor is then going to take a free exam and add a bunch of extra charges.[/quote]
