Is there a Stack Exchange site for medical professionals? If not, why not?

Are only medical professionals posting questions here, or is this also a place where patients look for answers?

1) Journals 2) Rounds and Grand Rounds 3) Curbsides / phone a friend 4) Websites are complicated by liability issues. They’re casual, but by their nature documented. It’s kind of the worst of both worlds.

What's more frightening is that we may be 10 years away from doctor "boot camps".

[scarejunba]

Well, that's not necessarily frightening.

We haven't established that no-healthcare is superior to healthcare from "obviously boot-camped doctor". It may open up access to healthcare to more people.

Terrifying. Instead of funding the healthcare system to make it cheap or free like every other developed country, lower the quality and suck more money out of the indigent.

I reckon one is more tractable than the other.

Given the nearly existential problems we are facing, it's really time we started thinking bigger.
