Rather than cutting salaries we should expand the ability earn an MD. But expanding medical school causes shrieks of hysterical anger from doctors. Same with importing foreign doctors. My pearls
A friend of mine is an opthalmic surgeon. He does complex corneal transplants and cataract surgery etc.
He had 12 years of training before he could so his first surgery. Once he invited me to observe a couple of operations that he did, which was super interesting. He told me afterwards that smart people with steady hands could probably be trained in 3 months to do the routine surgical work.
Bartenders used to also dabble in dentistry and medical care. So much nonsense involved between someone needing care, and being able to pay someone to implement the care.
