| > Remember: patient outcomes are not part of the standard of care. LMAO, what? It's literally, and defined as the end product of an acceptable standard of care, and used to judge whether a standard of care was given to a patient. > Probably not the remote Australia with a population of ~10% of the US. Victor Chang (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Victor_Chang) would have liked a word with you. Trained in the US. But still set up shop in Australia. Considered the world's leading heart transplant surgeon, with survival rates well into the 90%s. > Guess where your tertiary centre in Canada/Aus/Uk often mails your blood work and biopsies once they are at the end of the rope? That’s right. USA. Because of course you mention tertiary centres as if any of those three don't actually have primary research facilities. A tertiary hospital in Australia isn't mailing shit to the US for diagnostics. In the event that they can't figure it out, there's many many state of the art facilities available. All of this reads like some weird xeophobic libertarian fever dream, and the notion of Canadian, Australian healthcare systems as some primitive backwater barely discovering modern medicine is laughably ignorant. |
